Women report more overall distress than men do and tend to experience higher levels of psychophysiological symptoms in response to stress--headaches, insomnia, muscle tension, anxiety, hostility, dizziness, nausea, pounding heart, lack of motivation, and various acute and chronic illnesses.
Headaches where classified as migraine (with and without aura), tension-type headache, and "overall headache".
Overall headache included migraine, tension-type headache, probable migraine, probable tension-type headache, cluster headache, and headaches that could not be classified due to lack of information.
Overall headache includes migraine with aura, migraine without aura, tension-type headache, probable migraine, probable tension-type headache, cluster headache, and unclassified headache.
The overall headache prevalence was 39.3% with female predominance (P < 0.0001).
Overall, unilateral headache was twice more common than diffuse or localized headache but unilateral pain had no association with site of thrombosis.
We found a stronger relationship between exposure to PTIEs and weekly, or more frequent, headache, compared with monthly headache.
