dementia/headache

Dementia is a global burden of public health. Headache disorders are the third most common cause of disability worldwide and common problems in the elderly population. Few studies focused on the relationship between primary headache disorders (PHDs) and cognitive status, and the results remain

BACKGROUND The impact of headache on dementia is largely unknown. This study examined the association between headache and dementia using data from a large population-based study. METHODS This population-based study used data from the Nord-Trøndelag Health Surveys performed in 1995-1997 (HUNT2) and

BACKGROUND Headache has not been established as a risk factor for dementia. The aim of this study was to determine whether any headache was associated with subsequent development of vascular dementia (VaD), Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other types of dementia. METHODS This prospective

BACKGROUND Until now, headache disorders have not been established as a risk factor for dementia. The aim of this study was to determine whether headache was associated with an increased risk of dementia. METHODS We systematically searched electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Web of

The effect of bifemelane hydrochloride on dementia in the elderly was studied in thirty-one patients having cerebrovascular disorders. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinsonism and related diseases. The drug (150 mg) was administered orally three times daily for 10 weeks. The final global improvement rating

F.D. exhibited the cognitive and behavioral profile of frontotemporal dementia in the context of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Symptoms included orthostatic headache, as well as cognitive and personality changes. He underwent CT, EEG, and MRI as well as neuropsychological evaluations

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is uncommon and results from a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. We describe the case of a marathon runner who presented with postural headache attributable to CSF venous fistulation originating from a lower thoracic nerve root cyst. Subsequent investigations

We wanted to compare the effects of tiapride and risperidone in treating behavioral and psychological symptoms of senile dementia. 108 patients with senile dementia received respective treatments (54 patients per treatment, either with 100 mg/day risperidone or 2.0 mg tiapride/day) for 2 months.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) causes postural headache and neurologic symptoms owing to traction and brain compression. A 66-year-old man with chronic headache and progressive personality and behavioral changes typical of frontotemporal dementia was examined. He had MRI findings of SIH

BACKGROUND Chronic intoxication due to carbon monoxide (CO) is a condition in which the frequency is underestimated since the clinical features are nonspecific. It is important since serious neurological sequelae may result: an extrapyramidal syndrome, dementia or a vegetative state. The diagnosis
