TI  - Gastrointestinal Headache; a Narrative Review.
PG  - 171-183
AB  - There are studies reporting primary headaches to be associated with 
      gastrointestinal disorders, and some report resolution of headache following the 
      treatment of the associated gastrointestinal disorder. Headache disorders are 
      classified by The International Headache Society as primary or secondary; 
      however, among the secondary headaches, those attributed to gastrointestinal 
      disorders are not appreciated. Therefore, we aimed to review the literature to 
      provide evidence for headaches, which originate from the gastrointestinal system. 
      Gastrointestinal disorders that are reported to be associated with primary 
      headaches include dyspepsia, gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD), 
      constipation, functional abdominal pain, inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS), 
      inflammatory bowel disorders (IBD), celiac disease, and helicobacter pylori (H. 
      Pylori) infection. Some studies have demonstrated remission or improvement of 
      headache following the treatment of the accompanying gastrointestinal disorders. 
      Hypotheses explaining this association are considered to be central sensitization 
      and parasympathetic referred pain, serotonin pathways, autonomic nervous system 
      dysfunction, systemic vasculopathy, and food allergy. Traditional Persian 
      physicians, namely Ebn-e-Sina (Avicenna) and Razi (Rhazes) believed in a type of 
      headache originating from disorders of the stomach and named it as an individual 
      entity, the "Participatory Headache of Gastric Origin". We suggest providing a 
      unique diagnostic entity for headaches coexisting with any gastrointestinal 
      abnormality that are improved or cured along with the treatment of the 
      gastrointestinal disorder.
