Comparative Study
Food and headache attacks. A comparison of patients with migraine and tension-type headache.
The role of foods as headache precipitants is still matter of debate. Several studies reported that dietary constituents may precipitate migraine attacks. Some authors reported that also tension type headache attacks may be provoked by foods. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of foods as headache triggers in both groups of patients. ⋯ Our study suggests that foods may trigger not only migraine but also tension type headache attacks.
