1 MIGRAINE & OTHER PRIMARY HEADACHES Aaron K. Farrow, M.D. Assistant Professor Department of Neurology The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES I have no financial relationships to disclose I will be making treatment recommendations during this presentation MIGRAINE & OTHER 1 o HEADACHES LEARNING OBJECTIVES Differentiate primary and secondary headaches Explain when and how to perform a diagnostic evaluation in a patient with headache Relate a practical definition of migraine Describe how the following symptoms relate to migraine: Abdominal pain Confusion Chest pain Hemiparesis Vertigo Aphasia Syncope Headache Describe the appropriate abortive & prophylactic therapies for migraine Identify other primary headaches syndromes & their treatments 1
2 HEADACHE LESION LOCALIZATION: MENINGES / TRIGEMINAL NERVE / C2-4 Meningeal stretching Increased intracranial pressure Decreased intracranial pressure Meningeal irritation Meningitides (acute and chronic) Subarachnoid hemorrhage Meningeal ischemia (scalp tender) Giant-cell (temporal) arteritis Meningeal pain-nerve* sensitization Migraine Other primary headache disorders Medication overuse *Trig. = trigeminal nerve C2 = 2 nd cervical nerve root C3 = 3 rd cervical nerve root C4 = 4 th cervical nerve root DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: PRIMARY VS. SECONDARY HEADACHES Primary headache A condition in which headache is a primary manifestation & no underlying disease is present Due to chronic conditions w/ recurrent acute attacks, e.g., migraine, tension-type, trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (= TACs, including cluster) Scans or blood tests are NOT necessary Secondary headache A condition in which headache is a secondary manifestation of an underlying disease process Often due to diseases that require both urgent & prolonged care, e.g., tumor, intracranial hemorrhage Scans or blood tests ARE necessary WHEN TO PURSUE FURTHER WORKUP: COMMON RED FLAGS IN HEADACHE SNOOP for the answer Systemic symptoms or Secondary risks Fever, weight loss HIV, cancer, immunosuppression, autoimmune Neurologic signs on exam Onset is sudden or abrupt (first & worst) Older age at onset (> 50) Pattern change 2
3 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: PRIMARY HEADACHES Migraine Many believe tension-type headaches are a Tension-type headache form of migraine headache without aura** Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) Cluster headache Paroxysmal hemicrania & hemicrania continua Short-acting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks Short-acting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) Short-acting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with cranial autonomic symptoms (SUNA) Other primary headache syndromes ** Given abundant similarities between epidemiology, clinical features, & treatment response patterns of migraine & tension-type headache, it s reasonable to believe they share common pathophysiology. Cady et al. Headache 2002;42: MIGRAINE: WHAT IT IS NOT MIGRAINE DOES NOT MEAN HEADACHE Headache is never the sole symptom of migraine, nor indeed is it a necessary feature of migraine attacks. Oliver Sacks, Migraine, Revised & Expanded, 1992 A book intended for laypersons with multiple descriptions of the varied symptoms ( phenomenology ) of migraine. Heavy reading, but very informative. Oliver Sacks also wrote the book Awakenings, later turned into a movie in which Robin Williams played the role of Oliver Sacks HEADACHE VS. MIGRAINE: SYMPTOM VS. SYNDROME Headache Pain in the head Migraine A syndrome of episodic brain dysfunction with systemic manifestations (that may include headache) Migraine a primary headache disorder is by far the most common cause of recurrent, episodic headache without sequelae, but actually may present with no headache at all and migraine with NO headache is very common. 3
4 THE PARALLELS BETWEEN SEIZURE & MIGRAINE Seizure Episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain Epilepsy Condition in which a person has a predisposition to seizures Migraine attack Episode of abnormal chemical activity in the brain Migraine Condition in which a person has a predisposition to migraine attacks Like many other neurologic conditions, it is likely that epilepsy & migraine are channelopathies, i.e., due to dysfunction of neuronal ion channels with resultant hyperexcitable neurons MIGRAINE EPIDEMIOLOGY: STUDIES ARE FLAWED, MISLEADING Two major studies suggesting 18% of women & 6% of men have migraine were flawed, misleading, & grossly underestimated prevalence of the migraine condition Used very restricted definition of migraine: At least one severe headache in last 12 months Unilateral or pulsatile pain Either (1) nausea/vomiting or phonophobia/photophobia or (2) visual or sensory aura before the headache Thus, these studies excluded many migraine types and determined prevalence of migraine attacks within the last year, not the overall prevalence of the migraine condition Stewart WF et al. JAMA. 1992;267;64-69 Lipton RB et al. Headache. 2001;41: MIGRAINE EPIDEMIOLOGY: THE TRUTH Migraine epidemiology studies should include: Sinus headaches (all experts agree are migraines) Tension/regular headaches (many experts feel are migraines) Migraine with aura other than visual or sensory, e.g., vertigo (all experts agree these exist) Nonheadache migraines, e.g., migraine aura without headache, abdominal migraine (all experts agree these exist) Symptoms since birth (once a migraineur, always a migraineur) Actually, 75-90% of people have the condition migraine Migraine definitions are based on opinion & consensus, there is no objective pathology or diagnostic test for migraine, & there is no genetic basis for a gender difference (women admit to symptoms more readily than men & have more attacks than men due to estrogen changes, but do NOT have the migraine gene more often than men) 4
5 MIGRAINE: WHAT IT IS PRACTICAL DEFINITION & DESCRIPTION Genetic condition in which a person has a predisposition to suffering recurrent transient episodes (attacks) of brain dysfunction with systemic manifestations that may include: headache/neck pain from mild to severe, variable location focal neurologic symptoms mimics stroke/tia GI symptoms (upper or lower) equals IBS, mimics gallstones chest pain mimics heart attack, equals atypical noncardiac CP autonomic dysfunction BP, pulse, sinus congestion, etc. triggered by hormonal or environmental changes or other medical conditions, and consisting of 4 possible phases (prodrome, aura, pain, postdrome). CLINICAL PHASES OF A MIGRAINE ATTACK OVERVIEW Trigger After Blau JN. Lancet Genetic Predisposition Prodrome Aura Pain Postdrome TIME Entire Migraine Dysautonomia with GI & vascular changes GI Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, dyspepsia Vascular BP or, arrhythmias, vasoconstriction/vasodilatation Prodrome Changes in mood, cognition, appetite Aura Focal neurologic symptoms (migratory & progressive) Pain Headache, sensory phobias, sinus congestion (vasodilatation) Postdrome Migraine hangover MIGRAINE TRIGGERS: EXTERNAL & INTERNAL CHANGES Environmental changes Barometric pressure (weather, altitude), motion Scents, smoke, fumes Hormonal changes Stress (esp. stress letdown ), exercise, thyroid Estrogen > progesterone menarche, pregnancy, hormonal contraceptives, menopause, ovulation/menstruation Sleep changes Deficiency or excess, change in shift Diet changes Hunger, dehydration Alcohol (all types, but esp. red wine) Artificial foods (nitrates/nitrites, MSG, sulfites, aspartame, sucralose) Other physiologic changes / medical conditions Head trauma, fever Cerebral blood flow changes (AVM, endarterectomy/angioplasty, ischemia e.g., paradoxical embolism via PFO) 5
6 MIGRAINE PHASES: PRODROME/PREMONITORY* Mood changes Irritability, depression, euphoria/hyperactivity Difficulty concentrating Stiff neck Fatigue, malaise, yawning Autonomic/GI symptoms constipation, diarrhea, urinary frequency Anorexia or food cravings esp. foods that increase serum serotonin and/or 1. Prodrome 2. Aura 3. Pain 4. Postdrome *ICHD-3 suggests elimination of the term prodrome & substituting premonitory instead magnesium, e.g., chocolate, bananas, nuts, peanut butter, sweets, fatty foods May begin hours to days before attack, persist through all 4 phases likely related to serotonin, magnesium, hypothalamic changes MIGRAINE PHASES: AURA (1 of 3) 1. Prodrome 2. Aura 3. Pain 4. Postdrome Transient neurologic symptoms Due to cortical spreading excitation/depression (with secondary local hyperemia/oligemia) Symptoms referable to location of transient chemical changes in cerebral cortex Pattern of symptoms Recurrent & stereotypical (previous similar spells) Gradual onset Migratory (1 part of body to another) over minutes to hours Progressive (1 type of symptom to another) Duration minutes to hours Chemical chain reaction in the brain leads to focal symptoms that change in location & type during an attack MIGRAINE PHASES: AURA (2 of 3) 1. Prodrome 2. Aura 3. Pain 4. Postdrome Types of focal neurologic symptoms Visual Usually positive (scintillation) followed by negative (scotoma) Shimmering, scintillating, flashing lights Spots, dots, bubbles, lines (zigzag, wavy, heat off pavement) Any color, but often silver, gray, or clear Usually associated w/ motion, e.g., moving, vibrating, coalescing Sensory Usually positive (tingling) followed by negative (numbness) Motor Hemiparesis (= hemiplegic migraine ) Cognitive Aphasia, confusion, amnesia, olfactory hallucinations Brainstem/temporal lobe Vertigo, ataxia, diplopia, tinnitus, dysarthria, consciousness 6
7 MIGRAINE PHASES: AURA (3 of 3) 1. Prodrome 2. Aura 3. Pain 4. Postdrome More types of neurologic symptoms Autonomic nervous system/insula/brainstem GI symptoms Nausea/vomiting, anorexia, dyspepsia, abdominal cramping, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation Cranial dysautonomia Horner syndrome, sinus congestion/epistaxis, facial/scalp flushing (e.g., red ear) Temperature changes Hypothermia, mild fever Cardiovascular changes Hypertension, hypotension, syncope, palpitations, arrhythmias Migraine causes headache & transient hypertension, but hypertension does not cause headache MIGRAINE PHASES: PAIN 1. Prodrome 2. Aura 3. Pain 4. Postdrome Headache characteristics No specific pattern Location variable Unilateral, bilateral Anterior (frontal, periorbital, etc.), posterior (occipital, neck) Diffuse, focal (e.g., nummular = coin-shaped) Throbbing, pulsating, pounding, pressure, squeezing, dull, aching Severe, moderate, mild, absent Onset usually gradual; duration hours, days, weeks Associated symptoms Sensory phobias photo, phono, kinesio, thermo, osmo Allodynia pain due to light touch, breeze, hair moving, etc. Lightheadedness vibratory or buzzing paresthesia in head Trigeminal nerve (CN5) & cervical nerve root sensitization in the meninges results in headache, sensory phobias, neuropathic symptoms MIGRAINE PHASES: POSTDROME 1. Prodrome 2. Aura 3. Pain 4. Postdrome Fatigue, malaise Difficulty concentrating Mood changes Muscle aches Scalp tenderness Food cravings or anorexia The migraine hangover 7
8 MIGRAINE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY A JIGSAW PUZZLE WITH MISSING PIECES Trigger Hypothalamic dysfunction & hyperexcitable cortex (esp. occiput) Cortical spreading depression (excitation/depression w/ hyperemia/oligemia, esp. occiput) Prodrome Aura Spreading depression in insula &/or brainstem serotonergic & noradrenergic dysfunction Dysautonomia CN V/cervical root sensitization with pain receptor stimulation & release of neuropeptides (e.g., CGRP) Head & neck pain (+ sensory phobias & cranial arterial changes, e.g., sinus congestion) Platelet & serum serotonin levels decrease during attacks of migraine, tension headache, IBS, & PMS. Cerebral serotonin & magnesium decrease during a migraine attack. MIGRAINE IS MUCH MORE COMMON THAN STUDIES WOULD SUGGEST Regular / ordinary headaches are migraines Tension headaches are migraines Frequent co-occurrence in patients and similar epidemiology, clinical features, & treatment responses Actually migraines triggered by stress letdown Sinus headaches are migraines Respond to migraine prophylactic agents Respond acutely to triptans (migraine abortive agents) Do not respond to antibiotics Sinus artery dilatation occurs in migraine Not all migraine attacks include headache Aura without headache (visual, sensory, vertigo, etc.) Abdominal migraine (= irritable bowel syndrome) Precordial migraine (= noncardiac atypical chest pain) DOCTORS & MIGRAINE KNOWLEDGE Deficits Due to Lack of Training, Time, & Confidence Training inadequate, focused on life-threatening HAs Time Hx key to Dx, yet limited time leads to cursory Hx Confidence in self and ability to read patient Cursory Hx & systemic Sxs fear of structural lesions Normal exam/tests assumed psychiatric illness Specialization multiple Dxs rather than 1 unifying Dx Neurologists deal with headaches GI doctors deal with stomach and intestine symptoms Ob-Gyn doctors deal with woman issues ORL / ENT doctors deal with ear, nose, sinus symptoms Cardiologists deal with cardiac causes of chest pain Pain specialists deal with peripheral (not CNS) pain 8
9 THE BLIND MEN & THE ELEPHANT Ancient Indian Parable Retold by American Poet John Godfrey Saxe (1800s) It s a spear! It s a fan! It s a wall! It s a snake! It s a tree! It s a rope! Very old story from India of 6 blind men who come upon an elephant. Each man feels a different part of the elephant & comes to a different conclusion regarding what he is feeling. None realize they are actually feeling an elephant. DOCTORS WITH BLINDERS & MIGRAINE An Unfortunate Modern-Day Medical Story It s a tension headache! It s an ear infection! It s IBS! It s a sinus infection or allergy! It s a panic attack! It s PMS! Like the ancient Indian story, each specialist sees a different symptom of migraine & comes to a different conclusion regarding what the patient has. None of the specialists realize the patiently actually has migraine. These 6 are not the only possible false diagnoses. See next slide CONDITIONS LIKELY DUE TO (OR RELATED TO) MIGRAINE Tension-type headache Sinus headache Regular/ordinary headache Cervicogenic headache Premenstrual syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome Recurrent vertigo/meniere Atypical noncardiac chest pain Transient HTN w/ headache Transient global amnesia Episodic confusion POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) Syncope of unknown cause Postconcussion headache Hangover Frequent strokes or TIAs w/ normal MRI brain These conditions cause temporary symptoms that are said to be of unknown cause, but which may be explained by migraine 9
10 MRI BRAIN & MIGRAINE WITH AURA: ANOTHER REASON FOR UNCERTAINTY Deep-white matter UBOs common in migraine w/ aura White on T2 & FLAIR MRI scans Located at gray-white junction Small, round, indistinct borders Often confused with: Multiple sclerosis plaques Strokes ( small-vessel disease, arteritis, vasculitis ) Significance & cause unknown Further evaluation not necessary Reassure patient Kruit MC et al. JAMA 2004;291:427 Unidentified Bright Objects (UBOs) of migraine seen on FLAIR MRI MIGRAINE IS A DISTINCT SYNDROME OF BOTHERSOME, BUT BENIGN SPELLS Lifelong past history (childhood through adulthood) of multiple different types of similar spells Main symptom headache, GI upset, chest pain, visual symptoms, tingling, vertigo, confusion, etc. Associated with mood changes, food cravings, sensory phobias Triggered by stress letdown, weather changes, estrogen changes, dehydration, hunger, etc. Normal tests Complete resolution between spells though taking daily analgesic, triptan, decongestant, or muscle relaxant makes symptoms constant (= medication-overuse syndrome) Family history of spells similar to those suffered by pt Obtaining accurate past & family histories is challenging due to rationalizations of patient & other physicians MIGRAINE THERAPY: THE TWO KINDS Prophylactic and Abortive Agents Prophylactic agents (preventers) If a patient takes certain medications every day, s/he is likely to have less frequent and less severe migraines Abortive agents (stoppers) If a patient takes certain medications as soon as possible at the start of a migraine attack, s/he may either stop the attack or make it less severe 10
11 MIGRAINE THERAPY: THE 3 OVERARCHING CONSIDERATIONS Avoid medication overuse headache (MOH) Limit use of all combined abortive agents to < 2 d/wk (except prescription naproxen) Use prophylactic therapy to enable patient to use abortive therapy < 2 d/wk Kill 2 birds with 1 stone Choose prophylactic agent(s) that treat other conditions pertinent to the patient Aim to prevent ALL migraine symptoms not just headache MIGRAINE PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY: GENERAL PRINCIPLES Kill 2 birds with 1 stone No agent initially developed for migraine; when choosing an agent, address concurrent conditions (e.g., hypertension, depression, anxiety, patient weight, seizures, osteoarthritis, insomnia, stool consistency) Different patients respond differently to different drugs Each agent/dose change takes > 4 wk to take full effect Start low, go slow Start one med, low-dose q2-4 wks to maximize efficacy vs. toxicity, but do NOT make automatic increases May eventually need more than one med MIGRAINE PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY: TOP CHOICES BY MECHANISM There is no class effect a patient may respond well to a drug after not responding to a different drug in the same category Antiepileptic drugs topiramate (Topamax) divalproex (Depakote) Tricyclic antidepressants nortriptyline (Pamelor) amitriptyline (Elavil) doxepin Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine ER Antihistamine cyproheptadine Antihypertensive agents candesartan (Atacand) lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril) nadolol (Corgard) propranolol (Inderal) NSAID naproxen (Naprosyn) Neutraceuticals magnesium oxide vitamin B2 (riboflavin) melatonin feverfew 11
12 MIGRAINE PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY: SIDE EFFECTS Side effects that may influence agent choice All antihypertensives Beta blockers Tricyclic antidepressants Divalproex Topiramate Naproxen Magnesium hypotension depression, sedation, asthma weight gain, sedation, constipation weight gain, hair loss, polycystic ovaries weight loss, abnl cognition, nephrolithiasis ulcers, renal disease loose stools MIGRAINE PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY: TOP CHOICES BY AGE & IN PREGNANCY Children & Young Adults topiramate nortriptyline / amitriptyline nadolol / propranolol Older Adults candesartan (Atacand) / lisinopril nortriptyline / amitriptyline divalproex (Depakote) venlafaxine (Effexor) All Ages primary or adjunct naproxen peri-predictable triggers / other pain magnesium oxide constipation melatonin insomnia Pregnancy magnesium oxide (class B) cyproheptadine (class B) MIGRAINE ABORTIVE THERAPY: GENERAL PRINCIPLES Triptans migraine-specific serotonin agonists are most effective (bind to subsets of serotonin 1 receptor 1D & 1B) Triptans may cause vasospasm; safety uncertain if: Migraine associated w/ aphasia, hemiplegia, or vertigo Vascular disease or risk factors (including hypercoagulability) Patient < 12 or > 65 years of age Analgesics may also be effective as abortive therapy Narcotics are generally NOT indicated for headache limit use to: Pregnant women only use acetaminophen (B) or narcotics (C) Elderly & patients with vascular disease Take all abortive therapy early, e.g., triptan efficacy 2/3 when HA mild, 1/3 when HA moderate Take analgesics and triptans < 2 d/wk to avoid medication-overuse headaches 12
13 MIGRAINE ABORTIVE THERAPY: SEROTONIN (5-HT) AGONISTS TRIPTANS Selective 5-HT 1D/1B agonists Fast onset/short half-life eletriptan (Relpax) rizatriptan (Maxalt & Maxalt MLT) zolmitriptan (Zomig & Zomig ZMT) almotriptan (Axert) sumatriptan (Imitrex PO, PN,SC) Slow onset/long half-life frovatriptan (Frova) naratriptan (Amerge) ERGOTS Nonselective 5-HT 1D agonists Cafergot (PO, PR) DHE DHE-45 IV, IM Migranal PN TRIPTAN + NSAID sumatriptan/naproxen sodium (Treximet) In most cases, start with the highest recommended triptan dose, e.g., sumatriptan 100 mg, eletriptan 40 mg, rizatriptan 10 mg. Take as early as possible at onset; may repeat x 1 after 2 h; do not exceed 2 tabs / 24 h; do not exceed 2 d / week. MIGRAINE ABORTIVE THERAPY: NON-NARCOTIC ANALGESICS While all these agents can be effective when used as early as possible at migraine onset, they all cause medication overuse headache if used > 2 days per week Nonspecific single-agent analgesics Aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen or other NSAIDs Nonspecific combination analgesics Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine) BC Powder (acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine) Goody s Headache Powder (aspirin, salicylamide, caffeine) Midrin, Amidrine, Duradrin, Epidrin (acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, isometheptene) Fiorinal (aspirin, butalbital, caffeine) Fioricet, Esgic (acetaminophen, butalbital, caffeine) MIGRAINE ABORTIVE THERAPY: PARENTERAL AGENTS IN HOSPITAL/ED Normal saline 1 L IV bolus These IV agents are preferable to Magnesium sulfate 1 g IV oral, IV, or Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 25 mg IV transdermal analgesics for ED Valproic acid (Depacon) 500 mg IV & hospitalized patients with Prochlorperazine (Compazine) 10 mg IV headache Metoclopramide (Reglan) 10 mg IV Methylprednisolone (Solumedrol) 125 mg IV Dihydroergotamine (DHE) mg IV or IM These agents may be repeated q8h PRN. RARELY need analgesics. ALMOST NEVER need narcotics. In pregnant women, may use metoclopramide (class B). Avoid reflexively giving acetaminophen, NSAIDs, narcotics! 13
14 PRIMARY HEADACHE SYNDROMES: TRIGEMINAL AUTONOMIC CEPHALALGIAS TYPE OF TAC KEY FEATURES Cluster More common in men (3-6x) / mean age at onset 31 (27-37) Symptoms occur in clusters (seasonal & diurnal) Duration 60 min, frequency 1-3/day Severe unilateral orbital pain Agitation/restlessness common (90%), N/V, sensory phobias Abortive Rx oxygen (7-10 L/min x min) or triptans Prophylactic Rx verapamil or lithium Paroxysmal hemicrania Hemicrania continua More common in women (3x) Duration 15 min, frequency > 5/day Prophylactic Rx indomethacin More common in women (2x) Present > 3 mos, intermittent exacerbations of variable intensity Prophylactic Rx indomethacin SUNCT More common in men (3x), V 1 distribution Duration 5 sec to 5 min, frequency 3 to 200/day Prophylactic Rx lamotrigine All TACs have cranial dysautonomia lacrimation, conjunctival injection, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, ptosis, or eyelid edema OTHER PRIMARY HEADACHE SYNDROMES: TYPE Primary Stabbing Primary Exertional KEY FEATURES Similar to SUNCT/SUNA but NO AUTOMONIC FEATURES Often accompanies other primary headache syndromes (migraine, cluster) Occurs w/ exertion or immediately following Duration: minutes - several days Young >>> old Primary cough Occurs w/ increased ICP events (cough, sneeze, Valsalva) Brief head pain, duration < 5 min Old >>> young Primary thunderclap Sudden, severe peak onset < 1 minute Characterized as lightning strike or being hit over head w/ baseball bat Duration: 1 hour 10 days, infrequent recurrences OTHER PRIMARY HEADACHE SYNDROMES: TYPE New-onset Persistent Daily Headache Hypnic Headache Primary Headache with Sexual Activity KEY FEATURES Abrupt onset daily headache, associated migrainous features Continuous > 3 months without secondary cause or trauma Date-locked Alarm clock headache (develops during sleep) Dull, bifrontal or bitemporal 15 min 3 hours after waking > 4 nights/week Old >>> young Associated with primary exertional Young >>> old Pre-orgasmic: dull headache, neck pain that builds in intensity Orgasmic: sudden, severe, explosive headache with abrupt onset maximal intensity 14
