Abstract

Background: There are only few studies adressing differences of triggering factors between genders and different types of migraine. This study was conducted to assess the differences between triggering factors and their intergender differences in migraine with aura(MA), migraine without aura(MO) and tension-type headache(TTH)Methods: A total of 221 patients (53 MA, 129 MO and 39 TTH) were given a questionnaire consisting of headache triggers.Results: Logistic regression analysis revealed that female sex, bright light and skipping meals were associated with migraine and milk was associated with TTH. Comparison according to gender showed that in MO the total sum of triggers was higher and bright light, loud noise, strong odors, coffeinated beverages, insufficient sleep, high altitude and having any food trigger were more frequent in females. In MA no gender difference was found. In patients with TTH alcoholic beverages other than red wine were a more common trigger among male patientsConclusion: Our results show that triggers differ among females and males with MO but not MA. This may suggest that the female brain is more vulnerable to triggers in MO. It is possible that the regions of the brain on which triggers act show gender specific differences possibly related to differences in neurotransmitter concentrations, receptors, excitability and hormonal interactions.

Özet

Giriş: Migren hastalarında tetikleyici faktörlerin migren subtipleri ve cinsiyetler arasındaki farklılıklarına değinen çalışma sayısı azdır. Bu çalışmada tetikleyici faktörlerin migren subtipleri ve gerilim-tipi başağrısı (GTBA) arasındaki ve cinsiyetler arasındaki farklılıklarına bakmayı amaçladık.Metod: Toplam 221 hastaya [53 auralı migren (MA), 129 aurasız migren (MO) ve 39 GTBA ] çeşitli tetikleyicilerin yazılı olduğu bir anket formu verilerek doldurmaları istendi.Bulgular: Lojistik regresyon analizi sonucunda kadın cinsiyet, parlak ışık ve öğün atlamak migren ile ve süt ürünleri GTBA ile ilişkili bulundu. Aurasız migren hastalarında kadınlarda toplam tetikleyici sayısı erkeklere gore daha fazlaydı ve parlak ışık, yüksek ses, keskin kokular, kafeinli içecekler, yetersiz uyku, yüksek rakım ve herhangi bir besin tetikleyicisine sahip olma daha sık görüldü. Auralı migrende cinsiyetler arasında tetikleyicilerde farklılık saptanmadı. Erkek GTBA hastalarında alkollü içecekler kadınlara gore ağrıyı daha sık tetikliyordu.Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız migrende tetikleyici faktörlerin aurasız migrende cinsiyetler arasında farklılık gösterirken auralı migrende bunun görülmediğini göstermektedir. Bu kadın aurasız migren hastalarında beynin tetikleyicilere karşı daha hassas olabileceğini akla getirmektedir. Migren tetikleyicilerinin etkilediği beyin bölgelerinin cinsiyetler arasında nörotransmitter konsantrasyonu, reseptör eksitabilitesi veya hormonal etkileşimleri gibi nedenlere bağlı olarak farklılık gösteriyor olması olasıdır.
