Last edited: 2/2003 Please read our Education Index Search this site Timothy C. Hain, MD , Chicago IL. Dizziness and headache are individually very common human conditions and their combination is also a common symptom complex. Diagnostically, one must determine whether the dizziness and headaches are independent or related to each other, and in particular, whether they are a manifestation of migraine. Here we will review the association between vertigo and migraine. This subject has also been recently reviewed by Reploeg and Goebel (2002) as well as Radke et al (2002). Epidemiology Nearly 13% of the adult population of the United States has migraine. There is a male-female distribution difference. At all ages, about 5% of men have migraine (Stewart, 1994; Lipton et al, 2002). Women of childbearing age have a much higher prevalence, jumping up to roughly 10% at the onset of menstruation, and increasing to nearly 30% at the peak age of 35 years. At menopause, rates of migraine abruptly decline in women back to roughly 10%. The prevalence of Migraine is far higher than that of Meniere's disease , which occurs in only 0.2% of the US population (Wladislavosky-Waserman et al, 1984). In a small study of persons with Menieres disease, the prevalence of Migraine was about 50%, compared with a figure of about 25% in the non-Meniere's population (Radke et al, 2002). Other studies have shown different results however. There have also been recent studies showing that there is a higher frequency of

Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed by Sue Barcellos, M.D., Assistant Professor, Director of the Headache Clinic, Department of Neurology Migraine is a common medical condition characterized by episodic, pulsating, unilateral headaches of moderate to severe intensity (inhibits or prohibits daily activity) that are aggravated by simple activity. Additional symptoms include nausea, with or without vomiting, and photophobia with phonophobia. Criteria for the diagnosis of migraine have been developed by the International Headache Society (see Table 1).1 It is estimated that as many as 23 million Americans suffer from migraines;2 the prevalence may exceed 10% of the U.S. population, and the condition is three to four times more likely to occur in women than in men.3 Migraines significantly affect the patient's quality of life, decrease worker productivity, and utilize significant healthcare resources. In addition to direct costs for medications, office visits, emergency room visits, healthcare provider services, and other medical treatment costs, the indirect costs of migraines have a tremendous economic impact. In 1992, the indirect costs associated with migraines were estimated to be between $1.4 and $17.2 billion per year. 4 The management of migraines has concentrated on preventing attacks, and when they do occur, effectively aborting the attacks. Abortive agents have focused on action at the serotonin 5-HT

Extractions: IMITREX® Injection/Tablets IMITREX® Nasal Spray Glaxo Wellcome Sumatriptan Succinate Sumatriptan Migraine Therapy Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Sumatriptan has been shown to be effective in relieving migraine headache. It is an agonist for a vascular 5-hydroxytryptamine1D (5-HT1D) receptor subtype (a member of the 5-HT1 family), and has only weak affinity for 5-HT1A receptors and no significant activity (as measured using standard radioligand binding assays) or pharmacological activity at 5-HT2, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT5A, or 5-HT7 receptor subtypes, or at alpha1-, alpha2-, or beta-adrenergic; dopamine1 or dopamine2; muscarinic; or benzodiazepine receptors. Sumatriptan activates the 5-HT1D receptor subtype which is present on cranial arteries, on the basilar artery and in the vasculature of dura matter. This action correlates with relief of headache. The antimigrainous effect of sumatriptan is believed to be due to vasoconstriction of cranial arteries, which are dilated and edematous during a migraine attack. Experimental data from animal studies shows that sumatriptan also activates 5-HT1 receptors on peripheral terminals of the trigeminal nerve which innervates cranial blood vessels. This causes the inhibition of neuropeptide release. It is thought that such an action may contribute to the anti-migraine action of sumatriptan in humans.

Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 61/No. 1 (January 1, 2000) Two new intranasal migraine medications, sumatriptan and dihydroergotamine mesylate, may offer specific advantages for patients who are seeking alternatives to various oral or parenteral migraine abortive therapies. Placebo-controlled clinical studies demonstrate that both intranasal forms are effective in relieving migraine headache pain, but published clinical trial information comparing these two intranasal medications with current abortive therapies is lacking. Both agents are generally well tolerated by patients, with the exception of mild, local adverse reactions of the nose and throat. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:180-6.) M igraine headaches are fairly common in the general population: 17.6 percent of women and 5.7 percent of men have one or more migraine headaches per year. Because of the episodic nature of migraine attacks, treatment options that rapidly and effectively minimize pain are needed. Although nonpharmacologic interventions play a role in headache management, most migraine patients seek relief with medication. Approximately 95 percent of patients with severe migraine take some medication (prescription or over-the-counter) for their headaches.

The Ridgeway Surgery; Dizzy Attack
The headache is throbbing and is of a migrainous type. This syndrome is calledbasilar migraine and responds to conventional migraine treatment.
http://www.ridgeway-surgery.demon.co.uk/acute/dizzy.htm

Extractions: Dizziness is a difficult symptom. It is a term used by patients to describe a feeling alien to them for which they cannot find a more exact description. The doctors first job is to clarify what the patient means by dizziness. Have a look through these questions. Most patients with a true vertigo immediately recognise this is what they mean. However, some patients may need clarification - for example comparing the feeling to getting off a roundabout or merry-go-round, or if you stop suddenly after spinning round and round. If this is the sensation is it continuous or intermittent? Patients with a clear history of positionally related vertigo almost always have benign positional vertigo. The vertigo is brief (less than one minute), triggered by movement, reduces with repeated movement and is usually associated with nausea or, if severe, occasionally vomiting. In some patients this syndrome can follow head injury. Examination is normal with the exception of Hallpike's manoeuvre (see below). This syndrome is usually easily recognisable and your doctor can make a confident diagnosis on clinical findings alone. If a patient has had previous attacks of vertigo, has associated ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and one-sided deafness a diagnosis of Meniere's disease is suggested. This is however rare and requires more formal assessment. An audiogram hearing test will show a characteristic loss of high tone hearing. This diagnosis is made with less certainty and there is no specific diagnostic test. This is an overdiagnosed condition.
