Habitual caffeinated beverage consumption and headaches among adults with episodic migraine: A prospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: We found no association between habitual caffeinated beverage intake and headache frequency, duration, or intensity. These data do not support a recommendation that patients with episodic migraine should avoid consuming caffeine. Further research is needed to understand whether deviating from usual caffeine intake may trigger migraine attacks.PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Some patients and doctors believe that caffeine causes migraine headaches. We studied 98 adults with migraine who reported how much caffeine they typically drink and tracked their headaches every day for six weeks, and we found that the number of c...

Substance use in a Dutch migraine cohort compared with the general population
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with migraine are less likely to use illicit drugs, smoke, or drink alcohol compared with the general population. Patients with CM less often consume alcohol, while they more often use illicit drugs and smoke compared to those with EM.PMID:38299699 | DOI:10.1111/head.14663 (Source: Headache)

Screen time and pediatric headache: A scoping review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: While there is preliminary evidence supporting possible associations between screen use and pediatric headache, there are several limitations in the present review including a lack of prospective and randomized controlled trials to better demonstrate causal relationships as well as methodological limitations with significant variability in how both headache and screen use are defined and measured. Future studies including real-time screen use and device monitoring are needed to better understand the influence of screen use behaviors on pediatric headache and to help further define best-use guidelines around th...

Regulation of headache response and transcriptomic network by the trigeminal ganglion clock
CONCLUSION: Our study unveiled robust circadian rhythms in the trigeminal ganglion at the behavioral, transcriptomic, and pharmacogenetic levels. These results support a fundamental role of the clock in pain pathophysiology.PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Several headache diseases, such as migraine and cluster headache, have headaches that occur at the same time each day. We learned that the trigeminal ganglion, an important pain structure in several headache diseases, has a 24-hour cycle that might be related to this daily cycle of headaches. Our genetic analysis suggests that some medications may be more effective in treating mi...

Daith piercing: Revisited from the perspective of auricular acupuncture systems. A narrative review
CONCLUSION: The available literature, combined with the reported recurrence of pain as well as the associated side effects of daith piercing, indicate that current evidence does not support daith piercing for the treatment of migraine, tension-type headaches, or other headache disorders.PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: This paper summarizes what we know about Daith piercing (DP) for chronic migraine and tension-type headache and discusses how DP might work. Current evidence does not support DP as an effective treatment of chronic migraine and tension-type headache. These findings might assist clinicians in discussing this subject w...

The impacts of migraine on functioning: Results from two qualitative studies of people living with migraine
CONCLUSION: Findings showed that migraine impacted individual functioning in multiple ways and the nature of these impacts was dependent on social-contextual factors. The results are being used in the development of core measures designed to improve our understanding of the burden of migraine and the efficacy of migraine therapies. The results also offer new insights and raise new questions about migraine experience that can be used to guide future research.PMID:38235605 | DOI:10.1111/head.14664 (Source: Headache)
