中文摘要
背景与目的: 头痛是残余颅骨缺损患者中一种特征尚不明确的症状。本研究旨在描述等待颅骨成形术的队列中头痛的患病率和临床特征,包括强度、性质、体位调节、伴随症状及缓解因素。
方法: 在三级神经外科转诊中心开展了一项回顾性横断面研究(2016年1月至2026年5月)。因开颅术后存在残余颅骨缺损的成人在专门的头痛门诊接受评估。使用视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估头痛,使用DN4问卷评估神经病理性特征,并系统记录缓解因素。进行了描述性统计和组间比较(卡方检验、Fisher精确检验和独立样本t检验)。
结果: 在182例患者中(平均年龄45.4±13.0岁;60.4%为男性),112例(61.5%)报告头痛。平均VAS为5.7±2.2,84.0%的患者至少为中度强度。头痛主要局限于缺损部位(85.7%),以压迫感/沉重感(68.8%)和紧箍感(66.9%)为主要疼痛性质。6.2%存在神经病理性特征。伴随症状——包括眩晕(42.0%)、畏光(24.1%)和畏声(23.2%)——仅在头痛组出现或更频繁出现(所有p<0.01)。67.0%的患者确定了缓解因素,最常见的是安乃近(50.0%)和卧位(10.7%)。
结论: 头痛影响大多数颅骨缺损患者,表现为中度至重度、以缺损部位为主的综合征,具有压力介导的特征和丰富的神经系统伴随症状。在颅骨成形术之前,该人群有必要进行系统的头痛评估和循证镇痛方案。
英文摘要
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Headache is a poorly characterized symptom in patients with residual cranial bone defects. This study aimed to describe the prevalence and clinical features of headache-including intensity, quality, postural modulation, associated symptoms, and relief factors-in a cohort awaiting cranioplasty.
METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary neurosurgical referral center (January 2016 - May 2026). Adults with residual cranial bone defects following craniotomy were evaluated at a specialized headache clinic. Headache was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), neuropathic features with the DN4 questionnaire, and relief factors were systematically recorded. Descriptive statistics and between-group comparisons (chi-squared, Fisher's exact, and independent-samples t-tests) were conducted.
RESULTS: Of 182 patients (mean age 45.4 ± 13.0 years; 60.4% male), 112 (61.5%) reported headache. Mean VAS was 5.7 ± 2.2, and 84.0% had at least moderate intensity. Headache was predominantly localized to the defect site (85.7%), with pressure/heaviness (68.8%) and tightness (66.9%) as the leading pain qualities. Neuropathic features were present in 6.2%. Associated symptoms-including vertigo (42.0%), photophobia (24.1%), and phonophobia (23.2%)-occurred exclusively or more frequently in the headache group (all p < 0.01). Relief factors were identified in 67.0% of patients, most commonly dipyrone (50.0%) and recumbency (10.7%).
CONCLUSION: Headache affects most patients with cranial bone defects, presenting as a moderate-to-severe, defect-site-predominant syndrome with pressure-mediated features and a rich neurological accompaniment. Systematic headache assessment and evidence-based analgesic protocols are warranted in this population pending cranioplasty.
