The aim of study was to evaluated the possible role of cranial artery velocity in headache pathogenesis. The present study was studied of five headache(F=5, Mean age=29.80±6.76yrs) were compared to 4 controls(F=4, Mean age=29.00 ± 5.48yrs).
Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography(TCD) is a new non-invasive and easily applicable method to evaluate flow velocities of the intracranial and extra cranial cerebral arteries. TCD was performed with standard method to measure the Mean Flow Velocity(MFV) of the middle and posterior cerebral -arteries, the internal carotid artery, the vertebral and the basilar artery.
We reviewed the whole TCD results performed at Taejon Veterans Hospital from October 8. 2000 to November 10. 2000.
Mean flow velocities in headaches and controls at their 6 decades are 28.00 ± 3.6 1 cm/sec and 41.25± 1.71 cm/sec in left PCA(P<0.01), 50.00 ± 23.07cm/sec and 82.75± 15.59cm/sec in right MCA(P<0.05), 26.20±4.82 cm/sec and 45.50±4.51cm/sec in right PCA(P<0.01), 26.60±4.56cm/sec and 38.25±4.92cm/sec in right VA(P<0.01).
After treatment for 2 weeks, mean of velocity on pre treatment and post treatment are 28.00±3.61cm/sec and 38.20±5.81cm/sec in left PCA(P<0.05), 26.20±4.827cm/sec and 39.20±5.54cm/sec in right PCA(P<0.05), 26.60±4.56cm/sec and 40.60-}-9.18 Velocity in cranial artery. Mean of velocity in
cm/sec in right VA(P<0.01). cranial artery with headaches observed in this study
it is concluded that Electrical Therapy for two was lower than controls, but MFV was promote 0
weeks was effected to promote Mean Flow of after treatment for2 weeks.
