    Sexual dysfunction in women with migraine and tension-type headaches
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2016) Solmaz, V.; Ceviz, A.; Aksoy, D.; Cevik, B.; Kurt, S.; Gencten, Y.; Erdemir, F.
    Primary headaches (PHAs) prominently affect the performance and life quality of people. Sexual dysfunction (SD) is an important health problem caused by several factors. This study aimed to compare the sexual function of women who have PHAs. Forty-one female patients who were diagnosed with migraine, 39 female patients who were diagnosed with tension-type headache (TTHA) and 41 healthy subjects were included in study. Sexual function of the cases were evaluated by using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Beck Depression Scale was applied to subjects and those who were diagnosed with depression were excluded from the study. SD was detected in both the migraine and TTHA groups. FSFI subgroup scores were, statistically significantly lower in the migraine and TTHA groups compared with the control group. No significant differences were detected between the migraine and TTHA groups in terms of FSFI and its components. In addition, no significant differences were detected between the blood prolactin levels or SD and headache. It was concluded that primary headaches (which are chronic diseases) itself may cause SD in female patients with migraine and TTHA independently of factors that may cause development of SD such as comorbid condition, depression, drug use and age.

    Sympathetic Skin Response and Boston Questionnaire in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
    (Springer, 2016) Cevik, B.; Kurt, S.; Aksoy, D.; Solmaz, V.
    We aimed to determine relations between the sudomotor efferent nerve fiber function and Boston questionnaire in idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Median-nerve sympathetic skin responses (SSRs) evoked by wrist stimulation were recorded in 108 CTS patients and compared with those in 88 healthy volunteers. The Boston questionnaire form (BQF) was applied to patients. All patients and healthy individuals were questioned about the autonomic symptoms in the hand (red or purple coloration, excessive sweating, and feeling cold). The average SSR latencies of the patients with CTS were significantly longer than those in the control group (P < 0.001). Positive significant, while weak, correlation was found between the SSR latency, autonomic symptoms, and total sympathetic system scores. No statistically significant relationship was found between the Boston symptom severity, functional capacity scores, and SSR latency. The latter obtained through wrist stimulation was sensitive to support the sudomotor sympathetic dysfunction in patients with CTS. As we found no relationship between the BQF and SSR, these indices may evaluate different aspects of CTS.
