Objective: Headache is one of the most common symptoms in primary medical care. The purpose of this study was to support medical treatment by consideration of a new CTTH (chronic tension-type headache) oriental medical diagnosis index. Methods: An Oriental medical diagnosis questionnaire was administered to a CTTH group, migraine group and normal group. The result was classified by using LDA, CART, factor diagnosis and tested in comparison with the original diagnosis. Also, weighting method based on expert opinions was done. Results: 1. The result analyzed by using LDA has an accuracy of 93.9% in comparison with the original diagnosis. 2. High accuracy showed when the test was performed with about 35 significant questions and four questions selected based on SPSS Wilks' lambda. 3. There was accuracy of 90.9% when differentiation was performed by using CART compared with original diagnosis. 4. 10 factors has a high initial value after factor analysis, consisting of questions to the similar differentiation. 5. Diagnosis formula of headache was made by using weighting method based on expert opinions. Conclusion: Oriental medical diagnosis questionnaires make it possible to classify headaches significantly. The study about weighting method of CTTH can make it possible to classify symptoms more accurately.

Objectives : The purpose of 29 case series is to report the possibility that a hand acupuncture is effective in relieving headache. Methods : After approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB), I analyzed 29 cases medical records of outpatients with headache, who visited ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ oriental medical hospital from December 2008 to December 2010, who have taken a hand acupuncture's treatment without other intervention, and who were diagnosed with one disease of international classification of headache disease second version (ICHD-2). The data was analyzed with Wilcoxon signed rank test to determine whether a hand acupuncture's treatment differed between before and after treatment's Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) according to types of headache and syndrome differentiation. Statistics program was used SPSS 18.0. Differences were considered significant at P<0.05. Results : The VAS of patients with headache was reduced after treatment of hand acupuncture from $6.57{\pm}2.04$ to $2.90{\pm}2.04$ for overall headache, from $6.32{\pm}2.05$ to $2.47{\pm}2.03$ for tension-type headache(P<0.001), from $7.10{\pm}2.18$ to $3.70{\pm}1.77$ for migraine(P<0.001), and from $6.00{\pm}1.41$ to $2.50{\pm}3.54$ for headache unspecified. A hand acupuncture produced a decrease in VAS of both ascendant hyperactivity of liver yang(P<0.001) and phlegm turbidity according to syndrome differentiation(P=0.002). No adverse event were encountered in any of the patients. Conclusions : It is suggested that a hand acupuncture may be effective in relieving headache, and could be applicable to first choice of acupuncture treatment for headache.

This study draws pattern differentiations of headache disorders on the ground of modern clinical applications and Korean medical literature. Categorization and symptoms of headache disorders are based on International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition(beta version). And clinical papers are searched in China Academic Journals(CAJ) of China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI). In the aspect of eight principle pattern identification, primary headache occurs due to lots of yang qi and has more inner pattern rather than exterior pattern, heat pattern rather than cold pattern, excess pattern rather than deficiency pattern. And primary headache is related with liver in the aspect of visceral pattern identification and blood stasis, wind and phlegm are relevant mechanisms. Migraine without aura is associated with ascendant hyperactivity of liver yang, phlegm turbidity, sunken spleen qi, wind-heat, blood deficiency or yin deficiency. Migraine with aura is mainly related with wind and it's major mechanisms are ascendant hyperactivity of liver yang, liver fire, yin deficiency of liver and kidney, blood deficiency or liver depression and qi stagnation. High repetition rate of tension-type headache can be identified as heat pattern or excess pattern. And trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias can also be accepted as heat pattern or excess pattern when the occurrence frequency is high and is relevant to combined pattern with excess pattern of external contraction and deficiency pattern of internal damage based on facial symptoms by external contraction and nervous and anxious status by liver deficiency. This study can be expected to be Korean medical basis of clinical practice guidelines on headache by proposing pattern identifications corresponding to the western classifications of headache disorders.

일반적으로 긴장성 두통환자는 측두하악부위의 관절통 보다는 근육통을 호소하는 경우가 많지만, 관절통과 근육통이 함께 나타나는 관절근육통을 호소하는 환자도 있다. 따라서 긴장성 두통 환자에서 측두하악부의 관절통과 근육통의 임상양상을 알아보기 위하여 일정기간 내원한 환자 중 국제두통학회에서 제시한 긴장성 두통 진단기준에 따라 긴장성 두통으로 진단된 167명 중 관절통 환자 18명, 근육통 환자 50명 그리고 관절통과 근육통이 함께 있는 관절근육통 환자 99명을 대상으로 설문조사 후, 이를 통계처리 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 관절통군, 근육통군 그리고 관절근육통군 모두에서 연령증가에 따른 발현 증가율은 통계학적으로 유의하였다(p=0.02). 2. 관절통군, 근육통군 그리고 관절근육통군 모두에서 성별과 구강악습관에 따른 발현 증가율은 통계학적으로 유의하지 않았다. 3. 연령이 증가됨에 따라 관절근육통군의 증가율에 비해서 근육통군의 증가율이 통계학적으로 유의하였다(p<0.03). 이상의 연구로 긴장성 두통환자의 임상양상 중 관절통, 근육통 그리고 관절근육통은 성별과의 관계와 구강악습관과의 관계에서는 통계학적인 유의성이 없었으나, 나이와의 관계에서는 통계적인 유의성이 있었다. 특히 관절근육통군과 근육통군에서 통계학적으로 주목할 만한 차이를 보여 연령이 증가될수록 근육통이 증가됨을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 향후 긴장성 두통의 진단과 치료에 많은 도움이 되리라고 생각된다.

Isolated sphenoid sinusitis is a rare disease in children, and its symptoms are often nonspecific and confusing. Rarely, severe headache can be the first or only symptom of isolated sphenoid sinusitis. New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a form of chronic daily headache that may have features of both migraines and tension-type headaches. NDPH is difficult to diagnose and requires a multifaceted approach. Here, we report on a 10-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl who both presented with typical NDPH symptoms. These patients had no nasal symptoms or signs of infection. Neither nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs nor topiramate had any effect on the headaches. Their neurological and ophthalmological examinations were normal. The results of routine blood work, including thyroid function tests, inflammatory markers, complete blood count, tests for viral infection, and a metabolic panel, were normal. A brain magnetic resonance imaging scan showed isolated sphenoid sinusitis. Both patients' symptoms resolved completely after approximately 1 month of oral antibiotics for sinusitis.

Purpose: Headache is a common symptom during childhood. It is usually persistent and requires special care. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of headache in children <7 years of age. Methods: We reviewed 3 years of clinical files on children <7 years of age with a chief complaint of headache. Results: This study included 146 children (66 males, 80 females; mean age, $5.5{\pm}1.0years$). Mean symptom duration was $5.8{\pm}7.9months$. Attack durations were longer than 2 hours in 31 patients, shorter than 2 hours in 70 patients, and unchecked in 45 patients. Attack frequency was $15.1{\pm}10.6$ times per month. Pain locations and characteristics were also variable. Mean pain severity score was $5.1{\pm}2.2$ on the visual analog scale. Of 38 patients who underwent electroencephalography, 9 showed positive findings. Of 41 who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging, 20 showed positive findings. The diagnoses were migraine (including probable migraine) in 34, tension-type headache in 5, and congenital malformations in 3. Medications were used in 29 patients: acetaminophen in 17, ibuprofen in 8, naproxen sodium in 1, and topiramate or amitriptyline in 3. Conclusion: In children aged <7 years, headache has a relatively benign course, but detailed history taking is needed for more accurate diagnosis.

긴장성두통환자의 통증이 구강악습관과 관련이 있는지를 확인하고자 연구하였다. 일정기간 내원한 긴장성두통환자 58명 중 구강악습관(이갈이, 이악물기, 이갈이와 이악물기) 환자 20명을 실험군으로 하고, 나머지 38명을 대조군으로 하여 국제두통학회의 긴장성두통 진단기준안에 근거하여 설문조사 후 통계처리하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 실험군과 대조군간의 성별(p=0.91) 및 나이(p=0.73)는 유의성이 없었다. 2. 통증의 종류에서 두 군 공히 둔통이 많았으며, 유의성은 없었고(p=0.69), 비둔통은 실험군이 대조군에 비해서 많았다. 3. 통증의 강도에서 두 군 공히 비심도가 많았으며, 유의성은 없었고(p=0.40), 심도는 실험군이 대조군에 비해서 많았다. 4. 통증의 양측성 유무에서 두 군 공히 편측성이 많았으며, 유의성은 없었고(p=0.52), 양측성은 실험군이 대조군에 비해서 많았다. 5. 통증의 일상생활시 악화유무에서 두 군 공히 악화가 많았으며, 유의성은 없었고(p=0.74), 악화는 실험군이 대조군에 비해서 많았다. 구강악습관이 있는 긴장성 두통환자의 통증은 구강악습관이 없는 환자에 비해서 양측성이며 심도의 비둔통이 많았고 일상생활에 의해서 더 쉽게 증가되었으나 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. 따라서, 구강악습관은 국제 두통학회에서 제시한 기준으로는 긴장성두통환자의 통증변화에 영향을 미치지 않지만, 일상생활에 의해서 더 쉽게 악화되므로 향후 저작이나 대화 등 구체적인 일상생활의 조건에 따른 변화를 확인하는 것이 필요하리라고 사료된다.
