|5. |TITLE OF THE TOPIC: |
| |“SCOPE OF HOMOEOPATHY IN CASES OF HEADACHE IN PAEDIATRIC AGE GROUP”. |
| | |
|6. |BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK |
| | |
| |6.1 NEED FOR STUDY: |
| |Headache is one of the most common complaints of children. Around 20% of outpatient visits to primary care physicians are|
| |due to headaches. Studies have supported that around 80% of pediatric population within the age group of 6-15 yrs. of age|
| |have suffered from headache .Studies of prevalence of any type of headache have shown up to 50% of 7yrs old and 80% of |
| |15yrs old have suffered from headache at least once.1 |
| |The high incidence of headache in pediatric population has a significant impact on the lives of children, resulting in |
| |school abstinence, decreased extracurricular activities and poor academic achievement. |
| |In order to manage childhood headaches efficiently, physicians must understand the common headache patterns, also the |
| |signs and symptoms that may indicate simple to serious intracranial diseases etc. Early effective intervention may |
| |prevent progression and lifelong consequences, including the development of co-morbidities. |
| |The cause of most of the headaches can be best elicited by full and accurate history taking and by routine general |
| |examination of the patient. History will bring out all the probable factors that < or >, any accompanying symptoms like |
| |vomiting and visual disturbances, any symptoms between the attacks etc. |
| |Though trivial headache at times may be a symptom of grave significance .thus it is very essential to know the pattern of|
| |headache. Also in this study, the scope of homoeopathic treatment in cases of headache in pasediatric age group will be |
| |assessed. |
| | |
| |6.2 REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: |
| |Headache: It is one of the most frequent neurological symptom but it is seldom associated with significant neurological |
| |disease unless accompanied by other symptoms or neurological signs. |
| | |
| |PATHOPHYSIOLOGY : |
| |Distention, traction, or dilatation of intracranial or extra cranial arteries. |
| |Traction or displacement of large intracranial veins or their dural |
| |envelop. |
| |Compression, traction or inflammation of cranial or spinal nerves. |
| |Spasm, inflammation or trauma to cranial or cervical muscles. |
| |Meningeal irritation and raised intracranial pressure. |
| |Other possible mechanisms such as activation of brain stem structures.2 |
| | |
| |CLASSIFICATION: |
| |Classification according to the international headache society: Headache is broadly classified into 3 types. |
| |Primary: headache and its associated features are diseases in itself. |
| |It is further classified as: |
| |Migraine: it is a syndrome of episodic, recurrent headaches more often unilateral which is associated with nausea, |
| |vomiting, photophobia or phonophobia.2 |
| |Diagnostic criteria consists of atleast two of : |
| |-unilateral pain |
| | |
| |-throbbing pain |
| |- < movement |
| |- moderate or severe intensity. |
| |Or atleast one of: |
| |-nausea/ vomiting |
| |-photophobia/ phonophobia |
| |Migraine is of following types: |
| |a .Migraine without aura |
| |b .Migraine with aura |
| |c. Ophthalmoplegic migraine |
| |d .Retinal migraine |
| |e .Childhood periodic syndromes that can be precursors or associated with migraine.2 |
| |Tension type headache: It is a type of headache that occurs more commonly in patients subjected to stress, anxiety and |
| |depression. |
| |Various precipitating factors may cause TTH in susceptible individuals like |
| |-stress |
| |-sleep deprivation |
| |-uncomfortable or bad posture |
| |-irregular meal timings |
| |-eye strain |
| |-caffeine withdrawal.3 |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| |Cluster headache: It is also called as Raeder’s syndrome, histamine cephalgia and sphenopalatine neuralgia.It is |
| |distinctive and treatable vascular headache syndrome.3 |
| |Diagnostic criteria includes one or more of: |
| |-conjunctival injection |
| |-lacrimation |
| |-nasal congestion |
| |-rhinorrhea |
| |-miosis |
| |-eyelid edema |
| |-frequent headache3 |
| |Miscellaneous headaches: It includes |
| |-idiopathic stabbing headache |
| |-external compression headache |
| |-benign cough headache |
| |-benign exertional headache |
| |-sinus headache2 |
| |Secondary headache: Headaches that are caused exogenously.It can be related to: |
| |-intracranial pathology |
| |-vascular pathology |
| |-infective pathology |
| |-neoplastic pathology |
| |-traumatic |
| | |
| |-psychiatric3 |
| |Neuralgias: It includes cranial neuralgias and other causes of facial pain like: |
| |-occipital neuralgia |
| |-trigeminal neuralgia |
| |-glossopharyngeal neuralgia |
| |-neck tongue syndrome3 |
| | |
| |ETIOLOGICAL FACTORS:4 |
| |1.Stress and muscular tension |
| |2.Diet and food sensitivities |
| |3.Jaw problems |
| |4.Hormonal influences |
| |5.Eye problems |
| |6.Eear, nose and throat problems |
| |7.Medications and rebound headache |
| |8.Allergic causes |
| |9.Physical exertion |
| | |
| |WARNING SIGNS WITH HEADACHE: |
| |-sudden onset |
| |-fever |
| |-marked change in character and type of pain |
| |-neck stiffness |
| | |
| |-pain associated with neurological disturbance |
| |-pain associated with local tenderness |
| | |
| |INVESTIGATIONS: |
| |-Most of the times a thorough history taking and physical examination is all that is required. |
| |-laboratory, radiologic or EEG findings may help in excluding other causes of headache. |
| |-head trauma and headache due to intracranial hemorrhage can be revealed by a consumptive coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia |
| |and prolonged prothrombin time. |
| |-in cases of intracranial abscess, lumbar puncture may reveal elevated opening pressure, leukocytosis, elevated protein |
| |and low glucose level. |
| |-in subarachnoid hemorrhage, lumbar puncture will show RBCs.2 |
| |Imaging studies: |
| |-Sinus headache- h/o persistent URTI, symptoms lasting more than 10 days and radiographs depicting fluid levels in the |
| |sinuses. |
| |-Intracranial masses are often diagnosed by CT and MRI. |
| |-EEG- is useful to assess the status of an underlying seizure disorder associated with headache.5 |
| | |
| |DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS:4 |
| |-encephalitis |
| |-meningitis |
| |-epidural and subdural infections |
| |-toxicity |
| | |
| |PROPHYLAXIS:5 |
| |Taking good care of the child can decrease the frequency and severity of their headaches. |
| |-drinking plenty of water |
| |-caffeine avoided |
| |-sports drink may help by keeping sugar and sodium levels normal. |
| |-regular and sufficient sleep. |
| |-avoid overexertion |
| |-eat balanced meals at regular intervals |
| |-following prescribed plan of treatment |
| | |
| |HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH TOWARDS HEADACHE: |
| |Homoeopathy recognizes the individuality of each case. It does not treat the disease but treats the patient. It provides |
| |a constitutional treatment based on totality of physical and mental reaction. |
| |In cases of headache the symptoms should be qualified with regards to its onset. Frequency, duration, modalities, |
| |concomitant and accompanying symptoms if any .The concept of susceptible constitution takes into consideration the |
| |hereditary influences and predispositions that play an important role in the genesis of illness. |
| |Homoeopathic therapeutics, therefore have unlimited possibilities of influencing favorably the mental process and |
| |mitigating the adverse effects of the |
| | |
| |hereditary predispositions to illness, thereby leading to a better adaptation of the |
| | |
| |patient to his environment. This is the general management which plays a major role in treatment of headaches. |
| |When the patient comes with an acute exacerbation, it is always best to start an acute remedy which is then followed by |
| |the constitutional .In many cases well selected similimum fails to act or in the middle of the treatment, progress comes |
| |to a standstill. There comes the concept of a miasmatic totality. This can be solved by an appropriate intercurrent |
| |remedy to clear the miasmatic block. 6 |
| |Few common remedies frequently used for the treatment of headaches are: |
| |Acon, Arg nit,Ars, Bell, Bry, Ced, Ign, Iris, Glon, Lac d, Nat mur,Nux vom, Sang, Spig, Calc phos, Sil, Sul, Lyc.7,8,9 |
| | |
| |6.3 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY: |
| |1. To evaluate the various factors that precipitate headaches in children. |
| |2. To study different types of headaches. |
| |3. To study various homoeopathic approaches in cases of headache in paediatric age group. |
