The effect of simultaneous administration of occipital nerve block and cervical myofascial trigger point injection (MTrPI) on headache parameters in chronic migraine patients.

Background And Aim: Peripheral myofascial mechanisms have been identified as contributors to migraine pathophysiology. The specific comorbid relationship between migraine and cervical trigger points may exacerbate the occurrence and severity of migraine attacks. Trigger point injections (TPIs) are frequently employed to address headaches and alleviate migraine symptoms.

An assessment of Martin-Gruber anastomosis discrepancies between healthy individuals and patients with carpal tunnel syndrome in motor nerve conduction studies.

The Martin-Gruber anastomosis (MGA) represents a nerve innervation anomaly in the upper extremity, potentially leading to misinterpretation during standard nerve conduction studies (NCSs). This study aims to characterize the electrophysiological attributes of MGA in both healthy subjects and individuals diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This case-control study involved the electrophysiological assessment of 506 forearms, segregated into two distinct groups: a CTS positive (+) case group and a CTS negative (-) control group.

The Effects of Intervening With Synonasal Changes on Headaches in Migraine Patients Using Endonasal Surgery.

Objective: Some anatomical changes might trigger headaches in people who have migraine, and that surgical applications eliminating the structural problems in treatment-resistant migraine patients are effective in pain treatment.

Methods: A total of 36 patients, who did not respond to different treatment options without aura migraine and chronic migraine that were showing synonasal and anatomical changes in synonasal nasal endoscopy and/or paranasal sinus CT screening, responding insufficiently and/or approximately one year period also did not respond to different treatment options, were included in this study between June 2016 and September 2019.

Results: The relation between migraine episodes and synonasal symptoms was found to be statistically significant.

Prevalence of Tension-Type Headache in Individuals Aged between 18-65 Years in the Eastern Parts of Turkey.

Objective: Although tension-type headache (TTHA) is one of the most frequently encountered diseases in the general population, relatively few studies have been conducted on this health condition. The published data are limited on the frequency of TTHA in Turkey, and no studies to date have been initiated on the prevalence of TTHA in the city of Erzurum or the Eastern Anatolian Region.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted using in-depth interviews from 1972 individuals from city of Erzurum.

Migraine prevalence, disability, and sociodemographic properties in the eastern region of Turkey: a population-based door-to-door survey.

Background/aim: To determine the frequency of migraine in the eastern part of Turkey and its sociodemographic characteristics, impact on disability, and clinical aspects.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted door-to-door in the eastern part of Turkey. Those who suffered from headaches were diagnosed with migraine as per the 2004 diagnosis criteria of the International Headache Society and its frequency was determined.

The relationship of median nerve F-wave parameters with severity and subtypes of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Purpose: F-wave analysis may help affirm or disprove a compression neuropathy. In this study we have analysed the effects of focal median nerve injury on F wave in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

Method: We studied 57 patients (100 hands) with clinical and electrophysiological CTS and 31 (62 hands) healthy subjects.

Cortical and cerebellar atrophy, but no lesion in a patient with neuro-Behçet's disease.

Neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD) is a rare clinical entity. There are no reports about cortical atrophy in NBD. We report a patient with NBD exhibiting only cortical and cerebellar atrophy without any lesions.
