Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article describes the clinical features, etiology, differential diagnosis, management, and prognosis of new daily persistent headache. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS New daily persistent headache has attracted renewed attention as it may arise in the setting of a COVID-19 infection. Spontaneous intracranial hypotension, particularly from CSF-venous fistulas, remains an important secondary headache disorder to consider before diagnosing new daily persistent headache. Symptomatic treatment for new daily persistent headache may include acute and preventive therapies used for migraine and tension-type headache, such as triptans, oral preventive agents, onabotulinumtoxinA, and agents that target calcitonin gene-related peptide. ESSENTIAL POINTS New daily persistent headache is a daily headache syndrome that starts acutely and can only be diagnosed after 3 months have elapsed and other secondary and primary headache diagnoses have been excluded. The clinical manifestations largely resemble either chronic migraine or chronic tension-type headache. The underlying cause is unknown, but it is plausible that multiple etiologies exist and that it is not a single disease entity. The prognosis is variable but often poor, and the treatment approach is largely extrapolated from the management of chronic migraine and chronic tension-type headache.

Normal glymphatic system function in patients with new daily persistent headache using diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space. Headache 2023; 63:663-671. [PMID: 37140029 DOI: 10.1111/head.14514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the glymphatic function in patients with new daily persistent headache (NDPH) using the diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) method. BACKGROUND NDPH, a rare and treatment-refractory primary headache disorder, is poorly understood. There is limited evidence to suggest that headaches are associated with glymphatic dysfunction. Thus far, no studies have evaluated glymphatic function in patients with NDPH. METHODS In this cross-sectional study conducted in the Headache Center of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, patients with NDPH and healthy controls were enrolled. All participants underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging examinations. Clinical characteristics and neuropsychological evaluation were examined in patients with NDPH. ALPS indexes for both hemispheres were measured to determine the glymphatic system function in patients with NDPH and healthy controls. RESULTS In total, 27 patients with NDPH (14 males, 13 females; age [mean ± standard deviation (SD)]: 36.6 ± 20.6) and 33 healthy controls (15 males, 18 females; age [mean ± SD]: 36.0 ± 10.8) were included in the analysis. No significant differences between groups were observed in the left ALPS index (1.583 ± 0.182 vs. 1.586 ± 0.175, mean difference = 0.003, 95% confidence interval [CI] of difference = -0.089 to 0.096, p = 0.942), or right ALPS index (1.578 ± 0.230 vs. 1.559 ± 0.206, mean difference = -0.027, 95% CI of difference = -0.132 to 0.094, p = 0.738). Additionally, ALPS indexes were not correlated with clinical characteristics or neuropsychiatric scores. CONCLUSION No glymphatic dysfunction was detected in patients with NDPH by means of the ALPS method. Additional studies with larger samples are needed to confirm these preliminary findings and improve the understanding of glymphatic function in NDPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New daily persistent headache (NPDH) is a rare primary headache that is highly disabling. The pathophysiology of NDPH is still unclear, and we aimed to reveal the underlying mechanism of NDPH through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, thirty patients with NDPH and 30 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. The blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) sequences of all participants were obtained using the GE 3.0 T system. We performed ReHo, ALFF (conventional band: 0.01-0.08 Hz, slow-5: 0.01-0.027 Hz, slow-4: 0.027-0.073 Hz) and seed-based to the whole brain functional connectivity (FC) analysis in the NDPH and HC groups. The sex difference analysis of ReHo, ALFF, and FC values was conducted in the NDPH group. We also conducted Pearson's correlation analysis between ReHo, ALFF, FC values and clinical characteristics (pain intensity, disease duration, HIT-6, GAD-7, PHQ-9, and PSQI scores). RESULTS Both increased ReHo (PFWE-corr = 0.012) and ALFF values (0.01-0.08 Hz, PFWE-corr = 0.009; 0.027-0.073 Hz, PFWE-corr =0.044) of the left middle occipital gyrus (MOG_L) were found in the NDPH group compared to the HC group. There was no significant difference in FC maps between the two groups. Compared to the HC group, no difference was found in ReHo (p = 0.284), ALFF (p = 0.246), and FC (p = 0.118) z scores of the MOG_L in the NDPH group. There was also no sex difference in ReHo (p = 0.288), ALFF (p = 0.859), or FC z score (p = 0.118) of the MOG_L in patients with NDPH. There was no correlation between ReHo, ALFF, FC z scores and clinical characteristics after Bonferroni correction (p < 0.05/18). CONCLUSIONS Patients with NDPH may have abnormal activation of the visual system. Abnormal visual activation may occur mainly in higher frequency band of the classical band. No sex differences in brain activity were found in patients with NDPH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is characterized by daily, persistent headache with clearly remembered onset, preceding events or triggers and treatment refractoriness of headache. The pathophysiology of NDPH is still unresolved. NDPH has been associated with somatoform disorder (DSM 4 TR). Somatization is characterized by vivid memory, disproportionate and persistent thought about symptoms that may explain many characteristics of NDPH. However, tendency towards somatization has not been studied in NDPH patients. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated somatization in NDPH, chronic migraine (CM), and chronic tension type headache (CTTH) by comparing the prevalence of somatic symptom disorder (SSD, DSM-5). We evaluated the past tendencies to somatization by comparing various characteristics of past somatic symptoms (number, duration, type, clearly remembered onset, etc.) between NDPH, CM, and CTTH. RESULTS Forty-seven patients each of NDPH and CTTH and 46 patients of CM were evaluated. Criteria for SSD was fulfilled by 85.1% of NDPH and CTTH patients and only 45.7% of CM. Past history of somatic symptoms was seen in 70% patients with NDPH, 15.2% CM, and 23.4% CTTH (p<0.001). Median number of past somatic symptoms was higher in NDPH. All NDPH patients clearly remembered the onset of at least one past somatic symptom. None of CM and CTTH patients remembered the onset of past somatic symptoms. CONCLUSION NDPH patients displayed significant past history of somatization. Continuation of past tendencies to manifest as NDPH suggests that NDPH may be an epiphenomenon of somatization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a type of chronic daily headache. NDPH can have migrainous (NDPH-CM) or tension-type character (NDPH-CTTH). Recently, NDPH patients have shown to have associated anxiety and depression. We compared anxiety, depressive symptoms, somatization and pain catastrophization among NDPH, healthy controls and patients with chronic low-back pain and between NDPH-CM and NDPH-CTTH. METHODS We assessed the study population for depressive symptoms by Patient Health Questionnaire-9, anxiety by Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale - 7, somatoform disorder using DSM IV (TR) criteria and pain catastrophizing by using Pain Catastrophizing Scale. RESULTS Fifty-five patients each with NDPH (mean age 28.24 ± 12.05 years, 45.5% females) and age/sex matched healthy individuals and patients with chronic low-back pain were enrolled. Among NDPH patients, somatoform disorder was seen in 32.7%, severe anxiety in 65.5%, severe depressive symptoms in 40%, significant pain catastrophization in 85.5%. NDPH patients had significantly higher frequency of all psychiatric co-morbidities as compared to healthy controls and patients with chronic low-back pain. NDPH-CM patients had significantly higher frequency of depression and pain catastrophizing behaviour as compared to NDPH-CTTH. CONCLUSION Anxiety, depressive symptoms, somatization and pain catastrophizing were significantly more prevalent in NDPH when compared to healthy individuals and patients with chronic low back pain. Such effects should be sought for, as they might contribute to refractoriness to treatment. SIGNIFICANCE Anxiety, depressive symptoms, somatization and pain catastrophizing were significantly more prevalent in new daily persistent headache when compared to healthy individuals and patients with chronic low back pain. Such effects should be sought for, as they might contribute to refractoriness to treatment.
