A Clinical Observation on Neuropsychology and Electrophysiology in Headache Patinets With Myofascial Trigger Points

To study the clinical characteristics of headache patients with pericranial myofascial trigger points(MTrPs),and to explore the possible pathogenesis of MTrPs,investigators hope to find the possible electrical biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and to improve the effect of headache treatment.

A series of neuropsychological test scale including Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE),Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HMAD) were evaluated among all patients.The needle pole electromyography (EMG) inspection were practiced on subjects with myofascial trigger points ,for analysing those electrophysiological characteristics.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Primary headache patients with pericranial myofascial trigger points.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cranial weeks muscle infection or trauma, medical history, physical examination, laboratory and imaging studies suggest secondary headache patients except cervicalheadache.
