Abstract
Headache and hypothyroidism are common comorbidities. This is a cross-sectional study of the prevalence of hypothyroidism in headache patients in the largest Mexican headache registry. PREMECEF is an e-database for patients with headaches. Data was recollected from July 2017-April 2019 in three centers of Monterrey, Mexico. Of 869 patients, 35 (4%) had hypothyroidism. Four had two different headache diagnoses; of the 39 individual diagnoses, 23 were primary, 1 secondary, 13 cranial neuralgias, and 2 unspecified headaches. Hypothyroidism prevalence: 8.3% in unspecified, 6.5% in cranial neuralgias, 3.4% in primary, and 1.9% in secondary headaches; in tension-type headache (TTH) was 3.9%, in migraines 3.2%, in trigeminal neuralgia 6.1%, and in occipital neuralgia 6.3%. This is the first report on the prevalence of hypothyroidism in occipital and trigeminal neuralgia. The prevalence of hypothyroidism in migraine and TTH is higher than the general population.
