Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Osmophobia in migraine classification: a multicentre study in juvenile patients.
This study was planned to investigate the diagnostic utility of osmophobia as criterion for migraine without aura (MO) as proposed in the Appendix (A1.1) of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II, 2004). ⋯ In conclusion, this study demonstrates that this new approach, proposed in the Appendix (A1.1), appears easy to apply and should improve the diagnostic standard of ICHD-II in young patients too.

Tension-type headache (TTH) is a headache in which musculoskeletal impairments of the craniocervical region may play an important role in its pathogenesis. We investigated the presence of myofascial, postural and mechanical abnormalities in patients with frequent episodic and chronic tension-type headache (ETTH and CTTH, respectively). ⋯ Active MTrPs in the craniocervical region contribute to triggering or maintenance of TTH and posture or neck mobility may be a result of chronic headache.
