Patients with cluster headache suffer from various sleep problems, such as insomnia, which also occur in periods when the patient is symptom-free and should be considered during treatment. This has been shown by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in a study recently published in The Journal of Headache and Pain.
Patients with cluster headache suffer from various sleep problems, such as insomnia, which also occur in periods when the patient is symptom-free and should be considered during treatment. This has been shown by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in a study recently published inThe researchers have recorded sleep with two complementary methods .
"Patients also estimated that they had difficulty falling asleep, slept worse, and felt less rested compared to control subjects. Cluster headache is a disorder that appears in phases; there are active phases when patients experience daily headache attacks, which are interspersed with remission phases when the patients are headache free. We were able to observe that
These findings indicate that sleep problems in patients may have an underlying biological link to the pathophysiological mechanisms that cause cluster headache and thus is not a result of waking up from headache pain. Even small sleep disturbances observed in the study can have a major impact on quality of life.
