Detection of differences between migraine and tension-type headache from electroencephalogram signals

Tension-Type Headache (TTH) and migraine are common disorders all over the world. Some patients with a diagnosis of TTH have clinical symptoms, which are usually seen in migraine. Thus, distinguishing between TTH and migraine can be difficult. Confusion in the diagnosis of migraine and TTH has incre...

Description
Summary:Tension-Type Headache (TTH) and migraine are common disorders all over the world. Some patients with a diagnosis of TTH have clinical symptoms, which are usually seen in migraine. Thus, distinguishing between TTH and migraine can be difficult. Confusion in the diagnosis of migraine and TTH has increased interest in this topic. To eliminate this problem, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were obtained from healthy volunteers, migraine patients and patients diagnosed with TTH. These signals were analyzed by means of time axis to quantify the differences between healthy, migraine and TTH patients. The obtained features were statistically analyzed to determine whether or not there was any difference between the groups. As a result, it was found that the features obtained from EEG signals can distinguish the migraine and TTH groups successfully.
