FALSE MIGRAINE “PSEUDO-MIGRAINE”
Okay, maybe you have been diagnosed with migraine by dozens of health institutions and/or physicians. Some of us even have this diagnosis by world-famous physicians, but?
Maybe you don’t have a migraine?
Maybe you’re wondering why years of treatments haven’t worked for you?
You went door to door with dozens of brain MRI and tomography scans.
Maybe you are tired of this job, tired of looking for ways to get rid of this trouble and you are used to living with your painkillers resigned to your fate?
Maybe you also suffer from “false migraine”?
What is False Migraine?
In fact, it is not a single disease.
This name is used in the article for a group of diseases that cause migraine-type headaches and mimic the complaints that occur in migraine attacks, but are not related to migraine.
As you know, it is accepted that there is no laboratory test, imaging method or objective diagnostic criteria to prove the presence of migraine disease. However, this common view is not true either. Today, it can be examined whether a patient has a migraine attack or not.
The most important feature that distinguishes false migraine from true migraine; Contrary to migraine, this disease group has laboratory tests or radiological imaging tests and other medical examination methods that can make a definitive diagnosis.
In summary, if the “false migraine” research can be carried out in detail and without ignoring the patient presenting with migraine-type headache, the patient can be prevented from being misdiagnosed as migraine.
However, health care providers do not focus on this differential diagnosis sufficiently.
The World Health Organization gave a brief and satisfactory explanation of this “negligence and/or underestimation”:
“Lack of knowledge among healthcare providers is the main clinical barrier. Worldwide, on average, only 4 hours of undergraduate study are dedicated to education about headache disorders. A large number of people with headache disorders go undiagnosed (correctly) and go untreated: only 40% of those with migraine or TTH (tension-type headache) worldwide are professionally diagnosed and only 10% of SB.
Bad awareness extends to the general public. Headache diseases are not perceived as serious by the public as they are mostly episodic, do not cause death and are not contagious. Low consultation rates in developed countries may indicate that large numbers of affected people are unaware that effective treatments are available. It is estimated that half of people with headache disorders self-treat.” WHO (World Health Organization)= About Headache Disorder
In diseases known as Tension Headache and Cluster Headache, which are defined as “primary headaches”, especially migraine, diagnostic acuity decreases to 30% in scientific studies.
That is, at least half of the patients diagnosed with “migraine” on the street are victims of “misdiagnosis”. For this reason, the success rate of every “new miracle” drug or method found for the treatment of migraine cannot exceed 50%, even in the most optimistic and manipulative studies.
High rate of misdiagnosis; A group of diseases that we call “pseudo-migraine” arises as a result of not being considered at all during the diagnosis of headache or not being investigated considering the costs of the examination.
