However, it is only since the 1970s that it has become the subject of more extensive and detailed scientific interest. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the development of the concept of HAWSA, its clinical presentation, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment especially from the research perspective of the last 20 years. Primary HAWSA is a benign condition, whose etiology is unknown; however, at the first occurrence of headache associated with sexual activity, it is necessary to exclude conditions that are usually immediately life-threatening. Migraine, hypnic headache or hemicrania continua have been reported to co-occur with HAWSA, but their common pathophysiologic basis is still unknown. Recent advances in the treatment of HAWSA include the Citation: Sci´slicki,P.;´ Sztuba, K.; introduction of topiramate, progesterone, and treatments such as greater occipital nerve injection, Klimkowicz-Mrowiec, A.; arterial embolization, and manual therapy.

  • Hypnic Headache Responds to Topiramate: a Case Report and a Review of Mechanisms of Action of Therapeutic Agents
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.13790 Hypnic Headache Responds to Topiramate: A Case Report and a Review of Mechanisms of Action of Therapeutic Agents Hassan Kesserwani 1 1. Neurology, Flowers Medical Group, Dothan, USA Corresponding author: Hassan Kesserwani, [email protected] Abstract Hypnic headaches are unique as they are exclusively nocturnal, occurring in rapid-eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep. Their nocturnal nature suggests a role for cyclic mechanisms involving the hypothalamus despite conflicting imaging results for the role of the posterior hypothalamus. Nevertheless, pharmacological therapeutics acting as highly effective agents, such as caffeine and melatonin, can modulate the sleep-wake cycle. In addition, indole agents such as indomethacin that are anti-nociceptive and affect cerebral blood flow also prove to be efficacious. Gabanoids and topiramate also have reported efficacy. We report the case of a topiramate-responsive hypnic headache patient and outline in detail the potential mechanisms of topiramate and the other therapeutic agents and adumbrate on the neuronal networks of migraine, the trigeminal autonomic cephalgias and suggest a potential neural circuit for hypnic headaches. Categories: Neurology Keywords: headache disorders, medication therapy management Introduction Hypnic headaches are sleep-induced nocturnal headaches that are usually holocranial but can be bifronto- temporal and rarely bioccipital, dull and moderate-to-severe in intensity. Migrainous symptoms such as nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia may occur in 30% of patients. Some hypnic headaches can be associated with mild autonomic symptoms such as rhinorrhea or lacrimation. The average duration of the headache is 90 minutes with a mean frequency of 21 days per month.

It affects elderly men and women with a mean age of presentation of 60 years. Pathogenesis is poorly understood and a secondary cause can often be found in this age group.

  • Chronic Daily Headache
    Chronic Daily Headache David Dodick, MD Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ Esma Dilli, MD University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Chronic Daily Headache (CDH) is a headache of any type occurring 15 or more days per month. It may be primary or secondary (due to underlying disorder). Important characteristics to determine if a patient has a secondary cause for their headaches include: systemic symptoms (fever, weight loss), secondary risk factors (HIV, systemic cancer), neurological symptoms or signs including papilledema, peak onset of pain in less than 1 minute, onset after age 50 years, or a headache precipitated by cough, exertion, valsalva or changes in position. CDH is sub-classified into short duration (< 4 hours) or long duration (> 4 hours) based on the duration of individual episodes. Short duration CDH include chronic cluster headache, chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, hypnic headache and idiopathic stabbing headache. Long duration CDH includes chronic migraine (CM), chronic tension type headache (CTTH), new daily persistent headache (NDPH), medication-overuse headache (MOH) and hemicrania continua. The prevalence of CDH is about 4%. The two most common primary chronic daily headaches are CTTH and CM. In a study examining the one year prognosis of migraine, chronic migraine occurred in 3% of all migraine suffers 1. In the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study (AMPPS), the population based prevalence rates of CM are 0.67% with CM suffers consuming three times more costs/resources than episodic migraine suffers 2. Persons with CM had significant higher odds of greater adverse headache impact (based on HIT-6 scores) compared to episodic migraine. Predictors of high headache impact include average severity and depression 3.
