Primary headache management in a multidisciplinary team - a pilot study.

Tension-type headaches and migraines are bidirectionally related to dysfunctions of the cervical and masticatory muscles and some psychosocial factors. Our pilot study aimed to investigate the connections between primary headaches, bruxism, and psychosocial issues. In addition, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach in decreasing the intensity and frequency of headache episodes and bruxism.

An Open-Label Trial Study of Quality-of-Life Assessment in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Their Treatment.

Evaluation of Sleep Disturbances in Patients with Nocturnal Epileptic Seizures in a Romanian Cross-Sectional Study.

(1) Background: Based on the premise that epilepsy is frequently associated with hypnopathies, in this study we aim to analyze the prevalence of sleep disturbances among patients with epilepsy, with exclusively or predominantly nocturnal seizures, in relation to demographic factors as well as clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) aspects. (2) Methods: 69 patients with nocturnal epilepsy were included in our study. Sleep disturbances were measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, followed by a long-term video-EEG monitoring during sleep.
