Background and Aim: Mental health is perquisite for continuity preservation of social-occupational- educational function of society subjects and main target of applying health and mental plans is that preservation. This study was conducted to estimate the mental health status (body healthy- anxiety- depressing, social function), demographic and occupational characteristics and survey of relation between headaches and mental health among Shiraz hospitals staffs. Materials and Methods: A random sample of 1023 staff constituting a 20% sample of the hospital staff population were selected and sampling method was categorical random sampling and peer each group sampling method was systemically. Demographic, occupational and mental health data (by General Health Question 28 (GHQ28). for determine patients with headaches questionnaires were screened followed by clinical interviews, general physical and international headache society (IHS). Results: Of 1023 subjects 466 (45.6%) cases had mental disorders. Prevalence of mental disorders was 86(27.6%) cases in male staffs and 380 (54.3%) cases in male staffs. Average score of staffs were in index body health 6.74, anxiety 6.67, social function 6.48 depression 3.28 and mental health 23.2. In this study, characteristics on mental health were associated with abnormal sleep pattern, low body activity, dissatisfaction to job. In present results headache was affected on mental health and this two disorders was not independent. Conclusion: Result of this research found that mental disorders has high prevalence and that invokes, masters, that by recognition of mental health risk factors codifies intervention plans. Also with amendment of sleep status, creation convenience for sporting activity in hospitals staffs and their creation of satisfaction, can had worthwhile effect on status mental health status. High co morbidity among headache and GHQ deserves more attention and especial strategies for prevention and treatment.

Background and Aim: Halothane and isoflurane are the most common anesthetic drugs in general anesthesia. Headache is the most common complication of patients after operation and the factors which cause it is inhalational anesthetics. The aim of this Study is detection of prevalence of headache after general anesthesia with halothane in comparison of isoflurane in patients who referred to Jahrom training hospitals for elective surgery. Materials and Methods: This is a clinical trial study done by simple sampling among Patients Who referred to Jahrom training hospitals during two months for elective operation. 120 of them were randomly selected and divided into two equal groups. Method of anesthesia on two groups was general anesthesia one of them received Halothane and nitrous oxide and, the other one instead of Halothane, used Isoflurane. All the patients after operation in recovery room, 6, 12 and 24 hours later, were asked and monitored for headache by a question list and interview. Data were analyzed by SPSS software and statistic methods, such as t-test and chi-square. Results: The Prevalence of headache after general anesthesia with Isoflurane (68.3%) was more than Halothane (56.7%)(P=0.1). The highest prevalence of headache after Isoflurane , in recovery room was (68.3%) , with the highest mean of pain severity (3.02) , and the least prevalence of headache was observed , 24 hrs. after using Halothane as the anesthesia agent(18.3%) and with the least mean of pain severity (0.48) . Duration of headache after anesthesia with Isoflurane was too longer (1.05 hours) than Halothane (0.7 hours). Associate symptoms after anesthesia with Isoflurane were more prevalent and overall, in both groups, women are more effected (%64.8) by headache than men (%60.15). Conclusion: This study shows the high prevalence and duration of headache after anesthesia with isoflurane

Aims: Spinal anesthesia is the procedure of choice for caesarean section. There is no risk of airway hazards, such as difficult airway intubation and aspiration in this method. Some cases avoid to choose this method, because of fear of complications specially headache. This Study has been done to assess the true extent of headache after surgery with spinal anesthesia and its related factors.

Methods: This cross-sectional analytic study was done in 2011 for one year in 22th of Bahman hospital of Gonabad. 200 pregnant women that was candidate for caesarean section under spinal anesthesia were selected by achievable and purposeful sampling method. All procedure was performed in a sitting position and with a disposable 25-gauge needle with 75mg Lidocaine 5% and 25 micrograms Fentanyl. Data were gathered and analyzed using the SPSS 11.5 software and independent T and Chi-square tests.

Results: 12 patients (6%) in 24 hours after spinal anesthesia and 44 cases (22%) in first week after spinal anesthesia experienced headache. Headache happening had a significant relationship with body mass index (p=0.028) and occupational factors (p=0.011) in the first week. Hypotension was the most complication (52.5%) during spinal anesthesia.

Conclusion: Hypotension is the most complications during spinal anesthesia. Those with higher body mass index and those who were employed are at higher risk for headache in first week after spinal anesthesia.

Aims: Migraine is a chronic and invasive neurological disorder which is recognized by severe episodic and recurrent headaches. Nowadays use of non-pharmacological methods to relief pain are in progress. This study was done to compare the effect of wet-cupping and temperament modification on pain intensity in patients with migraine headache. Methods: This clinical trial was done in patients with migraine referring to Ghoochan traditional medicine official Center in 2012. 198 patients were selected by convenience sampling method and were studied. To collect data, two-part questionnaire (demographic characteristics and characteristics of headache) and a pain intensity form based on the visual analogue scale were used. After homogenizing the samples, they were randomly divided into three wet-cupping, temperament modification and control groups. Paired T, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean of pain intensity in the three groups of temperament modification (7.5±1.2), wet-cupping (7.6±1.3) and control (7.2±1.2) before intervention showed no significant difference (p=0.401). There were a significant difference between the mean of pain intensity of temperament modification (6.6±1.2), wet-cupping (2.4±1.9) and control (0.6±0.8) groups before and after interventions (p<0.001). Conclusion: Wet-cupping and temperament modification are very effective tools to treat migraine headaches.

Abstract Aims: Migraine is a common neurological disorder which causes numerous pain and suffering for patients. In addition to the pharmacological treatments, a non-pharmacological treatment such as exercise is recommended to prevent migraine. This study aimed to investigate the effects of high intensity aerobic training on migraine indicators in the patients. Materials & Methods: The present semi-experimental study with one-group pretest-posttest designing was done on migraine patients of Noorabad City, Iran, using convenience sampling. 12 inactive men with migraine were participated in this study. The study was last 16 weeks. The subjects did high intensity aerobic training in 40-45min and 2 sessions in the week. 48hours after the last training session, body composition indices and aerobic endurance and 4 weeks after completion of the training program, migraine headache indices were reassessed. Statistical analysis was done using student T-test for dependent group by SPSS 19 software. Findings: High intensity aerobic training reduced migraine headache indicators including the attacks frequency (p=0.025), severity of the attacks (p=0.024) and the duration (p=0.031) and it also improved the aerobic fitness of the subjects (p=0.001) significantly. Lipid percentage reduced 1.49% significantly (p=0.024). Conclusion: 8 weeks of high intensity aerobic training program can reduce the migraine headache indices (migraine attack frequency, intensity and the duration).

Aims: The beneficial effects of physical activities on migraine indices, i. e. frequency, duration, and intensity of the attacks, have been proved by different studies. Despite the fact, it is required to notice the sport characteristics, such as intensity, duration, repetition, and type of the sport, to investigate the beneficial effects of the physical activities on migraine treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Moderate Intensity Aerobic (MIA) exercises on the migraine indices and quality of life in women with migraine. 

Materials & Methods: In the controlled random semi-experimental study, 20 non-athlete women with migraine were studied in Kermanshah in 2015. The subjects were divided into two groups including control and MIA groups (n=10 per group). 8-weak MIA exercises (13-15 Borg RPE Scale) consisted of three 40-minute sessions a weak. The migraine indices of the subjects (frequency, duration, and intensity) were measured one month before and after the exercises. In addition, the quality of life and the aerobic power of the subjects were assessed 48 hours before and after the exercises. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21 software using ANCOVA, LSD post-hoc, and independent T tests.  

Findings: MIA exercises resulted in significant reductions in the intensity, frequency, and duration of headache attacks, as well as an increase in the aerobic power (p<0.001). Passing from pretest to posttest, the variable change percentage was significant between control and exercise groups (p<0.05).

Conclusion: MIA exercises lead to a reduction in the migraine headache, as well as an improvement in the quality of life and aerobic readiness, in the women with migraine.
