Neurology: Clinical characteristics of late-oncology alcohol-induced headaches.

A recent study published in Neurology, an authoritative journal in the field of neurology, aims to assess the International Classification of Headaches (ICHD) criteria and summarize the clinical esopathy of late-oncological alcohol-induced headaches (DAIH).
researchers conducted cross-sectional studies of college students who drank voluntarily and experienced headaches.
participants completed a survey that included demographic indicators and clinical data.
researchers analyzed the esotypes of headaches, validated the DAIH ICHD esoteric standard, and analyzed whether participants met the criteria for low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) stress headaches or migraines.
the study included 1,108 participants (58 percent were women, with an average age of 23 and 41 percent had a history of headaches).
alcohol intake was 158g, with 60 per cent of participants drinking spirits, 41 per cent beer and 18 per cent wine.
95% of participants met DAIH's ICHD standard.
headache duration (average 6.7 hours) was associated with the total amount of alcohol consumed (r=0.62, P=0.03).
85% of frontal-leaf headache sufferers had double-sided pain (43%).
headaches were mainly oppressive (60%) or throbbing (39%) headaches, and 83% of participants had headaches exacerbated by physical activity.
58 percent of patients met the ICHD low cerebrospinal fluid stress headache standard, and 36 percent of the participants met the migraine standard.
, DAIH is a moderate headache, typically manifested as a two-sided headache, mainly in the frontal leaf and oppressive headache.
esoteric patterns of DAIH are characterized by migraines and low CSF stress headaches.
