Sleep Bruxism and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Are Not Risk Factors for Tension-Type Headache (TTH): A Polysomnographic Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3835. [PMID: 38999400 PMCID: PMC11242812 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common primary headache. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep bruxism (SB) are two of the most common sleep disorders; however, the relationship between TTH, OSA, and SB has not been conclusively proved in the literature. The objective of our study was to estimate potential associations with OSA and SB in TTH subjects. Methods: 108 adult individuals who underwent polysomnography (vPSG) were included, and the group was divided into two subgroups: TTH (n = 34) and control (n = 74). The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) guidelines were used to diagnose TTH. OSA and SB diagnoses were based on vPSG examination with electromyographic (EMG) recordings and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) criteria. The results were analyzed, where p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: In the TTH group, the incidence of SB was more than two times lower than the control (OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.17-0.96, p < 0.05). However, the incidence of severe SB (BEI > 4) was similar in the TTH and control groups (OR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.21-1.35, p > 0.05). Additionally, phasic and tonic SB episodes were less frequent in the TTH group compared to the controls (p < 0.05). The mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was not significantly different between the TTH and control groups (p > 0.05). The sleep architecture and respiratory disturbances did not differ between the examined groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: SB is not a risk factor for TTH. Moreover, severe SB is not connected with TTH. OSA is not a risk factor for TTH. Sleep quality did not differ between both groups during PSG; therefore, TTH may not change sleep structure. The mechanism of these findings is still unclear, and further studies should explain in detail the association between TTH and OSA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sleep apnea headache is a major symptom accompanying obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but relatively little evidence has been reported on the magnitude of its negative effects on patients or the evaluation of therapeutic effects. We quantitatively assessed sleep apnea headache using the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and headache impact test (HIT)-6.
Methods
The first part of this study enrolled 86 patients (72 male; mean [± standard deviation] age 53.2 ± 13.8 years) who had been diagnosed with OSA by polysomnography in our sleep center and investigated the prevalence and characteristics of sleep apnea headache. The second part enrolled 21 patients (12 male; mean age, 47.5 ± 13.0 years) diagnosed with sleep apnea headache by polysomnography and/or peripheral arterial tonometry and evaluated the effects of OSA therapy on headache. Medical records including ESS, HIT-6, and polysomnographic data were retrospectively analyzed.
Results
The prevalence of sleep apnea headache among OSA patients was 22.1%, and was higher in female (50.0%) than in male (16.7%). The proportion of N3 and HIT-6 score showed a significant negative correlation (Pearson’s R = -0.51, p < 0.05). In female, median apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) was significantly lower in patients with headache (26.1 /h [interquartile range 21.4–29.6 /h]) than in patients without (54.2 /h [41.3–73.9 /h], p < 0.05, Wilcoxon rank-sum test). HIT-6 and ESS scores improved from 56.4 ± 9.7 to 45.9 ± 8.4 and from 9.0 ± 4.4 to 5.3 ± 4.2 in patients with oral appliance (OA), and from 54.3 ± 10.7 to 44.6 ± 6.1 and from 10.0 ± 4.0 to 4.9 ± 2.9 with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). In patients with good CPAP adherence, these scores improved from 58.1 ± 10.8 to 44.0 ± 6.0 and from 9.6 ± 3.8 to 3.6 ± 1.7.
Conclusion
Among patients with OSA, prevalence of sleep apnea headache was higher in female than in male. In female, headache was associated with relatively mild OSA. OA showed substantial effects on headache in mild to moderate OSA patients. CPAP adherence was important for improving the headache. HIT-6 score appears useful for the diagnosis and management of sleep apnea headache.

Abstract
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic, often disabling disorder characterized by multisite pain along with sleep problems and fatigue. Pain and sleep exhibit a reciprocal relationship. When FM and obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSA) co-exist, treatment options include continuous positive airway pressure or mandibular advancement device. We present a patient experiencing fibromyalgia and OSA whose symptoms vanished wearing a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) during sleep. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of FM symptom resolution by MAD treatment.

Abstract
Background Primary headache disorders (PHDs) are associated with sleep problems. It is suggested that headache and sleep disorder share anatomical and physiological characteristics. We hypothesised that patients with PHDs were exposed to a great risk for developing sleep apnoea (SA). Methods In this retrospective longitudinal study, the data obtained from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database in Taiwan were analysed. The study included 1346 patients with PHDs who were initially diagnosed and 5348 patients who were randomly selected and age/sex matched with the study group as controls. PHDs, SA, comorbidities and other confounding factors were defined based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification. Cox proportional hazards regressions were employed to examine adjusted HRs after adjusting with confounding factors. Results Our data revealed that patients with PHDs had a higher risk (HR 2.17, 95% CI 1.259 to 3.739, p<0.05) to develop SA compared with matched cohorts, whereas patients with migraine exhibited a high risk (HR 2.553, 95% CI 1.460 to 4.395, p<0.01). The results showed that patients with PHDs aged 18–44 exhibited highest risk of developing SA. In addition, males with PHDs exhibited an HR 3.159 (95% CI 1.479 to 6.749, p<0.01) for developing SA, respectively. The impact of PHDs on SA risk was progressively increased by various follow-up time intervals. Conclusion Our results suggest that PHDs are linked to an increased risk for SA with sex-dependent and time-dependent characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Because of the lack of population-based analyses, this study elucidated the epidemiology and 30-day postoperative complications of inpatient adult tonsillectomies in Taiwan. METHODS Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified all inpatient adult tonsillectomies (age>20years) in Taiwan during 1997-2012 through International Codes of Diseases, 9th Revision. Trend of the inpatient tonsillectomy in adult during the study period was explored. Major complications of readmission, reoperation, and mortality within 30days after tonsillectomies were identified. Factors associated with major complications were analyzed using multivariate logistic model. RESULTS In total, 27,365 adults received inpatient tonsillectomies (mean age, 38.4±13.0years; 57.2% male). The overall incidence was 10.2 per 100,000 population per year among adults. Incidence rates increased from 1997 (8.2/100,000 adults) to 2012 (11.2/100,000 adults) (P trend<0.001). The rate of readmission for any reason, readmission for bleeding, reoperation for bleeding, and mortality were 4.9%, 2.2%, 1%, and 0.1%, respectively. Young age increased the risk of bleeding-related readmission and reoperation, whereas old age increased the risk of readmission for any reason and mortality. Male gender increased the risk of all major complications. Hypertension was associated with an increased risk of bleeding-related readmission (odds ratio [OR]=2.21; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.68-2.92) and reoperation (OR=2.17; 95% CI 1.44-3.27). Existing catastrophic illness increased the risk of readmission (OR=4.28; 95% CI 3.60-5.08) for any reason and mortality (OR=3.24; 95% CI 1.37-7.65). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids were associated with an increased risk of readmission or reoperation for bleeding. CONCLUSION Incidence rates of inpatient adult tonsillectomy increased during 1997-2012 in Taiwan. Age, gender, comorbidity, and drug administration characteristics were associated with major complications of adult tonsillectomies in this cohort.

Abstract
Sleep and pain share a bidirectional relationship. Therefore, it is important for practitioners managing patients experiencing either sleep and/or pain issues to recognize and understand this complex association from a neurobiological perspective involving neuroanatomic and neurochemical processes. Accounting for the influence of pain on the various aspects of sleep and understanding its impact on various orofacial pain disorders assists in developing a prudent management approach. Screening for sleep disorders benefits practitioners in identifying these individuals. Instituting evidence-based multidisciplinary management strategies using both behavioral and pharmacologic strategies enhances the delivery of appropriate care.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article provides a review of disturbances of sleep comorbid with common neurologic disorders. RECENT FINDINGS A wide variety of neurologic disorders are frequently complicated by comorbid sleep disturbances. In many cases, a bidirectional relationship appears to occur between sleep function and the neurologic disease, such that treatment of comorbid sleep disturbances may improve the symptoms of the neurologic disease. SUMMARY Neurologic disorders are often associated with abnormalities of sleep. Sleep influences the severity of both epilepsy and headache, and treatment of comorbid sleep disorders may improve seizure and headache frequency. Alzheimer disease is characterized by circadian phase delay and poor nighttime sleep and is strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Parkinson disease is associated with several sleep disorders, including insomnia, restless legs syndrome, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder, daytime hypersomnia, and sleep-disordered breathing. Hypoventilation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other neuromuscular disorders often presents initially with sleep problems, and treatment with noninvasive ventilation improves survival and quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis and migraine are both important public health problems and may have overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of this study was to use a Taiwanese population-based dataset to assess migraine risk in osteoporosis patients. METHODS The Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database was used to analyse data for 40,672 patients aged ≥20 years who had been diagnosed with osteoporosis during 1996-2010. An additional 40,672 age-matched patients without osteoporosis were randomly selected as the non-osteoporosis group. The relationship between osteoporosis and migraine risk was estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS During the follow-up period, 1110 patients with osteoporosis and 750 patients without osteoporosis developed migraine. After controlling for covariates, the overall incidence of migraine was 1.37-fold higher in the osteoporosis group than in the non-osteoporosis group (3.72 vs. 1.24 per 1000 person-years, respectively). Migraine risk factors included high Charlson Comorbidity Index score, female gender, hypertension, depression, asthma, allergic rhinitis, obesity, and tobacco use disorder. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that patients with a history of osteoporosis had a higher risk of migraine.

Abstract
Background Morning headache is associated with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS); however, OSAS patients present with various characteristics of morning headache, and they often do not fulfil the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-2 criteria for “sleep apnoea headache”. The aims of this study were to assess the new ICHD-3 beta criteria for sleep apnoea headache in OSAS patients and to evaluate the differences with the ICHD-2. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey regarding morning and sleep apnoea headaches that included 235 OSAS outpatients receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. The presence of morning headache was evaluated by reviewing the medical records before administration of CPAP treatment. Results Of all of the OSAS patients, 48 (20.4 %) reported morning headaches. Of the 48 patients with morning headaches, 29 (60.4 %) and 39 (81.3 %) fulfilled the ICHD-2 and ICHD-3 beta criteria for sleep apnoea headache, respectively. The increased frequency of individuals who qualified for diagnosis was likely attributable to the extension of headache duration from 30 min to 4 h. The severity of OSAS was not associated with the presence of sleep apnoea headache. Conclusions The utilisation of ICHD-3 beta criteria is clinically useful for diagnosing sleep apnoea headache in patients with OSAS. Applying the ICHD-3 beta criteria was of clinical significance when considering the marked response of these headaches to CPAP therapy. The cause of sleep apnoea headache remains to be elucidated.
