AI Article Synopsis

  • A scoping review explored the link between sleep/awake bruxism and primary headaches (migraine and tension headache) in children and adolescents, following established research methodologies.
  • Researchers examined multiple databases and filtered through over 6,000 articles, ultimately including 11 that highlighted important associations.
  • Results indicated a notable connection between sleep bruxism and migraines, as well as increased risk of sleep bruxism in tension headache patients, especially in girls; however, awake bruxism's relationship with headaches remains unclear and requires more study.

Article Abstract

A scoping review was carried out with the aim of mapping the existing literature on the association between sleep/awake bruxism and primary headache (migraine and tension headache) in children and adolescents. This scoping review followed the method proposed by Arksey & O'Malley and the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Evidence Synthesis and was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The methods were registered in the Open Science Framework (). The following was the guiding question: "What does the literature say about the association between bruxism (sleep and awake) and primary headache (migraine and tension headache) in children and adolescents?". Two independent researchers performed searches of the Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed/Medline, Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases. Searches were conducted in August and September 2022 and updated in July 2023, leading to the retrieval of 6089 articles, 11 of which were selected for inclusion in the review. Sleep bruxism was associated with migraine as well as the frequency, duration, and intensity of migraine. Patients with tension headache are at increased risk for sleep bruxism and girls are more affected by both migraine and tension headache. In this scoping review, an association was found between primary headache (tension headache and migraine) and sleep bruxism. Awake bruxism was not investigated separately, making it difficult to determine its association with headache. The interaction between these variables is a complex phenomenon of unknown nature that merits further research.

Objectives: Migraine is a common cause of headache and a leading cause of morbidity in Türkiye. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and management of migraine and to compare migraine with tension-type headache (TTH) regarding the burden of disease and healthcare resource utilization.

Methods: A total of 1368 patients (aged 18-65 years) with migraine or TTH were surveyed regarding sociodemographics, headache characteristics, clinical management, disease burden, quality of life, and healthcare resource utilization within the previous 12 months.

Purpose:  Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and serositis, caused by mutations in the gene. Inflammatory pathways associated with FMF are linked to increased proinflammatory cytokines, which may be related to primary headaches, including migraine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of migraine and other primary headaches in FMF patients.

Background: This study aims to compare the posterior ocular structure parameters in children with migraine without aura (MWA), tension-type headache (TTH), and a healthy control group.

Methods: The study included 31 patients with MWA, 29 patients with TTH, and 38 healthy controls between 6 and 18 years of age. For all participants, the detailed eye examination and measurements including peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness, central macular thickness (CMT), subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT), macular vessel densities and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography (OCTA), were obtained from the patient files.
