In all patients, no correlation was found between the haematological parameters and duration and severity of headache.CONCLUSION: This study emphasizes that in patients with primary headaches, especially TTH, examination of iron metabolism will be helpful in planning the treatment and follow-up.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:OBJECTIVE: Migraine and tension type headache (TTH) are the most common primary headaches, which affect the activities of daily living.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Although the relationship between haematological diseases (anemia, polycytemia, heamochromatosis) and headache is accepted in neurology practice, studies examining iron deficiency or metabolism in patients with episodic tension type headache (ETTH) and migraine are in limited number.OBJECTIVES: In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between primary headaches (migraine and episodic tension type headache) and iron deficiency anemia parameters.METHODS: 132 migraine and 120 ETTH patients were included into study.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Migraine and tension type headache (TTH) are the most common primary headaches, which affect the activities of daily living. Although the relationship between haematological diseases (anemia, polycytemia, heamochromatosis) and headache is accepted in neurology practice, studies examining iron deficiency or metabolism in patients with episodic tension type headache (ETTH) and migraine are in limited number.OBJECTIVES: In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between primary headaches (migraine and episodic tension type headache) and iron deficiency anemia parameters.METHODS: 132 migraine and 120 ETTH patients were included into study. Total blood count examinations, serum iron, Iron Binding Capacity (IBC), ferritin, platelet (Plt), vitamin B 12 and folic acid levels were examined in all patients.RESULTS: In migraine group, the increased frequency of headache was correlated with elevated level of ferritin, and decreased level of IBC. In TTH patients, the increased frequency of headache was found to be correlated with decreased levels of Hb, Htc, ferritin, and increased level of IBC. In all patients, no correlation was found between the haematological parameters and duration and severity of headache.CONCLUSION: This study emphasizes that in patients with primary headaches, especially TTH, examination of iron metabolism will be helpful in planning the treatment and follow-up.

Özet

AMAÇ: Migren ve gerilim tip baş ağrısı (GTBA) günlük yaşam aktivitelerini etkileyen, en sık görülen birincil baş ağrılarıdır. Nöroloji pratiğinde, baş ağrıları ile hematolojik hastalıklar (anemi, polistemia, hemakromatozis) arasındaki ilişki kabul görmesine rağmen, epizodik gerilim tip baş ağrılı (EGTBA) ve migrenli hastalarda demir metabolizması ve eksikliğinin incelendiği çalışmaların sayısı sınırlıdır.AMAÇLAR: Biz bu çalışmada migren ve EGTBA ile demir eksikliği anemisi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçladık. YÖNTEMLER: Çalışmaya 132 migren ve 120 EGTBA hastası dahil edildi. Tüm hastalarda tam kan sayımı, serum demir (De), demir bağlama kapasitesi (DeBK), ferritin, platelet (Plt), vitamin B12 ve folik asit düzeyleri incelendi.BULGULAR: Migren grubunda, baş ağrısı sıklığı arttıkça DeBK düzeyinde azalma, ferritin düzeyinde artış saptandı. EGTBA hastalarında ise ağrı sıklığı arttıkça Hb, Htc, ferritin değerlerinde azalma, DeBK düzeyinde artış saptandı. Her iki grupta, hastalık süresi ve ağrı şiddeti ile hematolojik parametreler arasında ilişki saptanmadı.SONUÇ: Bu çalışmada, primer baş ağrısı hastalarında özellikle GTBA da demir metabolizmasının incelenmesi takip ve tedavinin planlanmasında yardımcı olacaktır.
