Researchers at The Headache Clinic have found an interesting correlation between headaches and tinnitus. 

Both tinnitus and headaches are exceedingly common, and each affects about 2OVo of the population. This means that in South Africa alone, there may be as many as 8 million headache sufferers and possibly the same number of people with tinnitus! More people visit their doctor for headaches than for any other ailment, and tinnitus is the most common complaint seen by ENT surgeons.

In the present study, we  examined clinical and laser-evoked potentials features in a group of chronic tension-type headaches patients, in order to perform a topographic analysis of laser evoked potentials and a correlation with clinical features.

The Vasodilatory Activity of CGRP

In the September 2013 edition of Headache, the article by Bigal, Walter, and Rapoport entitled “Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) and Migraine Current Understanding and State of Development” contains incorrect information regarding CGRP in the cerebral circulation.

There may be a casual relationship between migraine and ischaemic stroke

Many headache sufferers self-medicate and do not seek medical attention; notwithstanding, headache remains the most common complaint seen by neurologists. Migraine although less prevalent than tension type headache is the most common type of primary headache seen in the tertiary care setting, possible because the intensity of the pain is more severe, and because the associated symptoms such as aura, nausea and vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia are more common among migraineurs.

By professor PJ Goadsby in August 2012 edition of Ann Indian Acad Neurol

The author stated “Vascular changes are unrelated to the phase of the attack; indeed blood flow could be reduced or normal during the pain phase.” To support this statement, he cited the research carried out by Olesen and the “Copenhagen Group.

The pathogenesis of migraine pain has not yet been adequately explained and remains the subject of vigorous debate

Early studies on the extracranial terminal branches of the external carotid artery provided compelling evidence of their involvement in the evolution of migraine pain.
