Objective

To determine the prevalence of hypnic headache.

Background

The exact prevalence of hypnic headache is unknown since there are no published population-based prevalence studies.

Methods

This study was a pilot for the SAGA cohort study, a population-based study on life stressors and various indices of health. Of 1398 invited adults, 921 (66%) participated; 402 men (average age 45.6 years, SD 13.2) and 519 women (52.6 years, SD 11.1). Subjects answered a headache questionnaire including a screening question for hypnic headache. “Do you have a headache that occurs only during sleep and causes wakening?”. Diagnosis of hypnic headache was made by clinical interview using ICHD-3 criteria.

Results

Among 921 participants, six screened positive for hypnic headache, of those two 0.22% (95% CI 0.06–0.79%) had probable hypnic headache and none had definite hypnic headache.

Conclusion

Confirming that hypnic headache is rare, these data suggest a 0.22% prevalence of probable hypnic headache.

冰岛睡眠性头痛的流行率。

客观的

确定睡眠性头痛的患病率。

背景

由于没有发表的基于人群的患病率研究，睡眠性头痛的确切患病率尚不清楚。

方法

这项研究是 SAGA 队列研究的试点，这是一项基于人群的生活压力源和各种健康指标的研究。在 1398 名受邀成人中，有 921 人（66%）参加；402 名男性（平均年龄 45.6 岁，SD 13.2）和 519 名女性（52.6 岁，SD 11.1）。受试者回答了包括入睡性头痛筛查问题在内的头痛问卷。“您是否有仅在睡眠期间发生并导致醒来的头痛？”。入睡性头痛的诊断采用 ICHD-3 标准进行临床访谈。

结果

在 921 名参与者中，有 6 名入睡性头痛筛查呈阳性，其中 0.22% (95% CI 0.06-0.79%) 有可能的入睡性头痛，没有人有明确的入睡性头痛。

结论

这些数据证实了催眠性头痛是罕见的，这些数据表明可能的催眠性头痛的患病率为 0.22%。
