Shen C, Ou Y, Ouyang R, Zong D. Prevalence and characteristics of pain in moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea patients and effect of CPAP treatment. Sci Rep 2023; 13:15758.

Abstract
Pain problems are common in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but few studies have thoroughly evaluated pain in these patients. The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence and characteristics of pain in moderate-to-severe OSA patients and the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. Moderate-to-severe OSA patients and healthy controls (HC) completed the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and a portion of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Short Form to assess pain characteristics. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to measure daytime sleepiness, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and psychological status, respectively. The OSA patients with pain were divided into a CPAP-treated group and a CPAP-untreated group based on their adherence to CPAP. The subjects' pain intensity was reassessed after 3 months. The prevalence of pain was 57.5% in OSA versus 27.1% in HC (p < 0.001). Head (39.0%) accounted for the highest proportion of overall pain locations in subjects with OSA, with 28.8% of OSA patients experiencing headaches. Pain in OSA was associated with impaired HRQoL and psychological problems. Patients with very severe OSA had an increased risk for pain problems (OR: 7.000, p = 0.041). Associated factors for pain intensity in OSA included age, ESS ≥ 9.0, and lowest pulse oximetry (LSpO2) < 80.0%. Pain intensity in OSA decreased significantly after CPAP treatment (p < 0.001). Pain was prevalent among patients with moderate-to-severe OSA and was associated with depression, anxiety, and a lower HRQoL. Patients with very severe OSA had an increased risk for pain problems. The intensity of pain in OSA can be predicted by age, ESS ≥ 9.0, and LSpO2 < 80.0%, and it can be alleviated through CPAP treatment.

[PMID: 36475060 PMCID: PMC9691984 DOI: 10.1515/med-2022-0598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Migraine is a highly prevalent disorder with an enormous burden on societies. Different types of medications are used for controlling both acute attacks and prevention. This article reviews some non-pharmacological recommendations aiming to manage migraine disorder better and prevent headache attacks. Different triggers of migraine headache attacks, including environmental factors, sleep pattern changes, diet, physical activity, stress and anxiety, some medications, and hormonal changes, are discussed. It is advised that they be identified and managed. Patients should learn the skills to cope with the trigger factors that are difficult to avoid. In addition, weight control, management of migraine comorbidities, lifestyle modification, behavioural treatment and biofeedback, patient education, using headache diaries, and improving patients' knowledge about the disease are recommended to be parts of migraine management. In addition, using neuromodulation techniques, dietary supplements such as riboflavin, coenzyme Q10 and magnesium, and acupuncture can be helpful. Non-pharmacological approaches should be considered in migraine management. Furthermore, the combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches is more effective than using each separately.

Abstract
Introduction: Migraine is a polygenic multifactorial disorder with a neuronal initiation of a cascade of neurochemical processes leading to incapacitating headaches. Headaches are generally unilateral, throbbing, 4–72 h in duration, and associated with nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and sonophobia. Chronic migraine (CM) is the presence of a headache at least 15 days per month for ≥3 months and has a high global impact on health and economy, and therapeutic guidelines are lacking. Methods: Using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations system, we conducted a search in MEDLINE and Cochrane to investigate the current evidence and generate recommendations of clinical practice on the identification of risk factors and treatment of CM in adults. Results: We recommend avoiding overmedication of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); ergotamine; caffeine; opioids; barbiturates; and initiating individualized prophylactic treatment with topiramate eptinezumab, galcanezumab, erenumab, fremanezumab, or botulinum toxin. We highlight the necessity of managing comorbidities initially. In the acute management, we recommend NSAIDs, triptans, lasmiditan, and gepants alone or with metoclopramide if nausea or vomiting. Non-pharmacological measures include neurostimulation. Conclusions: We have identified the risk factors and treatments available for the management of CM based on a grading system, which facilitates selection for individualized management.
