Abstract: (345 Views) |
Background and purpose: Parkinson's disease is the most common movement disorder and the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's. Pain, including headaches, is a common non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease that worsens over time. With the aging population in Iran, the incidence of Parkinson's disease is expected to rise, necessitating precise planning for healthcare interventions. Headaches are also prevalent non-motor symptoms in these patients, and studying their characteristics can contribute to symptom management and improving quality of life.
Materials and methods: In this study, 94 Parkinson's disease patients under neurologist supervision were assessed using questionnaires and medical history evaluations. Demographic characteristics, severity of motor symptoms, and prevalence and characteristics of headaches (frequency and intensity) were evaluated.
Results: Among 94 patients, 59 (62/7%) reported headaches. There was no significant association between headache prevalence and gender (P = 0/135). Male Parkinson's patients experienced more moderate to severe headaches compared to females (P = 0/043). There was no significant correlation between headache prevalence and severity of motor symptoms (P = 0/701). The mean headache intensity was 5/6 ± 2/2, indicating moderate intensity, and there was no significant association between headache intensity and motor symptoms (P = 0/127). The frequency of headaches was 6/8 ± 14/1 days in three months, and there was no significant correlation with severity of motor symptoms (P = 0/531).
Conclusion: The prevalence of headaches in Parkinson's disease patients is higher compared to the general population, which may be attributed to dysregulation in serotonergic and dopaminergic systems and oxidative stress. |
