Abstract

Generally, Tension-Type Headache(TTH) patients exhibit muscle pain, but can also have TMJ pain, which includes mouth opening limitation or joint sounds. The purpose of our study is to observe the clinical pain characteristics between TTH patients with muscle pain and TMJ pain. One hundred sixty-seven patients were diagnosed with TTH according to the questionnaires based on the International Headache Society's proposal on the diagnostic criteria of TTH. The patients were classified into three group; arthralgia group (18 patients), myalgia group (50 patients) and arthromyalgia group (99 patients). TTH patients with pericranial muscle pain were classified in the myalgia group. TTH patients with temporal region pain were classified in the arthralgia group. TTH patients with both types of pain were classified in the arthromyalgia group. The parameters in the diagnostic criteria such as quality, intensity, laterality of pain, and aggravation due to physical activities were compared among the three groups. 1. There were no significant differences in the quality of pain among the three groups. 2. There were no significant differences in the intensity of pain among the three groups. 3. There were no significant differences in the laterality of pain among the three groups. 4. A higher percentage of patients in the arthromyalgia group experienced headaches that were aggravated due to physical activity (p=0.03) compared to the other groups. The results of this study show that TTH patients with both arthralgia (TMJ pain) and myalgia (pericranial muscle pain) are more aggravated by physical activity than TTH patients with either one.

긴장성두통은 일반적으로 근육성 두통이 많지만 측두하악관절장애 등과 같은 관절통이 주소인 경우도 있는데 본 연구의 목적은 근육통을 호소하는 긴장성 두통환자와 측두하악관절의 통증을 호소하는 긴장성 두통환자의 임상적 통증양상을 비교 연구하는데 있다. 일정기간 긴장성두통을 주소로 내원한 환자 167명을 관절통군 18명, 근육통군 50명, 그리고 관절통과 근육통이 함께 있는 관절근육통군 99명을 대상으로, 국제두통학회에서 제시한 두통의 진단기준인 통증의 질, 통증의 강도, 통증의 양측성 유무 그리고 일상생활시 통증의 증가유무, 악습관의 유무 등을 설문조사한 후 통계처리 하여 결과를 얻었다. 1. 통증의 질은 세 군 모두 둔통이 많았다. 관절통군이 94%, 근육통군이 94%, 그리고 관절근육통군이 85%로 둔통이 많았다. 그러나, 세 군간의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 2. 통증의 강도는 세 군 모두 심하지 않은 정도의 통증이 많았다. 관절통군이 89%, 근육통군이 88%. 그리고 관절근육통이 94%로 비심도의 비율이 높았다. 하지만, 세 군간의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다 3. 통증의 양측성 유무는 세 군 모두 편측성이 많았으나, 관절통군이 83%, 근육통군이 82%, 그리고 관절근육통군이 63%로 편측성이 많았다. 세 군간의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 4. 일상생활시 통증의 증가유무는 세 군 모두 악화되는 경우가 많았으며, 관절근육통에서 75%로 관절통의 61%, 근육통의 54%보다 악화되는 비율이 통계적으로 유의성있게 더 높았다(p=0.03). 이상의 연구로 관절통 혹은 근육통 하나 만이 있는 긴장성 두통 환자보다, 관절통과 근육통을 모두 가지고 있는 긴장성 두통환자는 더욱 쉽게 악화됨이 관찰되었다.
