The purpose of the work. To study the effect of the disease and treatment on headache in patients with vestibular schwannoma and to identify clinical predictors of long-term disability in headache.
Methods. A cross-observational study was conducted. The cohort included patients with primary vestibular schwannoma < 3 cm and a separate group of individuals from the general population of the control group without tumors. The study included a survey using a questionnaire of disability due to headache, hospital anxiety, depression scale and a questionnaire of symptoms of vestibular schwannoma.
Results. The data of 538 patients with vestibular schwannoma were studied. The average age of patients was 65 years, 57% of patients were women, the average interval between treatment and examination was 7.7 years. Twenty-seven percent of patients underwent microneurosurgery, 29% - observation. Patients with vestibular schwannoma who were under observation were more than twice as likely to suffer from severe headache compared to 103 control subjects without vestibular schwannoma.
Conclusion. On average, almost 8 years after treatment, about half of patients with vestibular schwannoma experience headaches of varying frequency and severity. Patient-dependent factors, including age, gender, mental health, and pre-existing headache syndrome are the strongest predictor of prolonged severe disability in headache.
