TLDR
The high prevalence of postictal headaches confirms the frequent triggering of a headache by a seizure, a condition in which the real triggering effect of the headache on the seizure might be difficult to prove.Abstract:
To examine the association between headaches and epilepsy. Consecutive adult epileptic patients who went to the outpatient clinic of the Epilepsy Center of PLA General Hospital between February 01, 2012, and May 10, 2013, were recruited into this study. A total of 1109 patients with epilepsy completed a questionnaire regarding headaches. Overall, 60.1% of the patients (male: 57.2%; female: 63.8%) reported headaches within the last year. The age-weighted prevalence of interictal migraine was 11.7% (male 8.9%, female 15.3%), which is higher than that reported in a large population-based study (8.5%, male 5.4%, female 11.6%) using the same screening questions. The prevalence of postictal headaches was 34.1% (males 32.7%, females 35.2%), and the presence of preictal headaches was 4.5% (males 4.3%, females 5.2%). The prevalence of headache yesterday in the general population was 4.8% (male 3.0%, female 6.6%). Thus, the prevalence of headaches, including migraine, is higher in epileptic patients in China. The high prevalence of postictal headaches confirms the frequent triggering of a headache by a seizure. A much lower frequency of preictal headaches, a condition in which the real triggering effect of the headache on the seizure might be difficult to prove.read more

Decreased Resting-State Functional Connectivity of Periaqueductal Gray in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Comorbid With Migraine.
TL;DR: In this article, the functional connectivity of periaquuctal gray (PAG) network in epilepsy comorbid with migraine was investigated, and the authors found that the connectivity between PAG and PPN was negatively correlated with the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.

Primary headache disorders in epileptic adults
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors aimed to estimate the prevalence and clinical features of primary headache disorders in patients with epilepsy, and found that the most common type of headache was tension-type (45.2%) followed by migraine-type headache (12.9%) in the epileptic group.

TL;DR: The most common type are post-ictal headaches, and they are most likely to appear after a generalised seizure, and the most common types are moderate in intensity and more likely to occur after generalised seizures.

TL;DR: The calculations indicate that the disability attributable to tension-type headache is larger worldwide than that due to migraine, which would bring headache disorders into the 10 most disabling conditions for the two genders, and into the five most disabling for women.

Prevalence of migraine headache in the United States. Relation to age, income, race, and other sociodemographic factors.
TL;DR: The magnitude and distribution of the public health problem posed by migraine in the United States is described by examining migraine prevalence, attack frequency, and attack-related disability by gender, age, race, household income, geographic region, and urban vs rural residence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of headache.
TL;DR: The study supports the notion that migraine and tension-type headache are separate clinical entities and that migraine without aura and migraine with aura are distinct subforms of migraine.
