Židlíková, Simona ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Author: Title of the thesis: Bc. Simona Židlíková Effect of acupressure in the treatment of migraine Aims: The aim is to assess the effect of acupressure in the treatment of female migraineurs who are taking triptan medicine. Methods: Migraineurs who are taking triptan medicine took part in the experiment. A total of 20 test subjects participated in the research. The research sample was randomly divided into experimental and control groups of ten participants each. Acupressure was used as a therapeutic method in the experimental group. A total of 8 therapeutic units were performed over the period of 4 weeks. There were three main factors, that were evaluated - the number of migraine attacks and how many times use of acute analgesics was needed in the last 4 weeks before the start of the intervention and during the 4-week acupressure intervention. The third factor was a quality of life - the input and output examination was performed using the Migraine Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire Version 2.1, which assesses the impact of migraine on an individual's quality of life. Migraineurs in the control group were only using triptan medicine and did not undergo any other therapy. This group recorded the number of migraine attacks and the frequency of use of acute analgesics in the same way as the...

Možnosti fyzioterapie u bolestí hlavy vertebrogenního původu
FRIDRICHOVSKÝ, Radek
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of physiotherapeutic intervetion of headaches of vertebrogenic etiology. The therapy of all patients is based off of the same principle and a similar approach resp. manual treatment of overworked and shortened muscles, adjusting the breathing stereotype, correcting basic movement stereotypes, engaging of the deep stabilisation system through picked exercises and exercising autotherapy given to the patient. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part is focused on anatomical structures related to the issue, following is the clinical picture and differential diagnosis of headaches, prevalence and possibilities of physiotherapy. Practical part is comprised of the exercise unit, made using the methods from the theoretical part, and the actual research, processed in the qualitative form, containing the entry and final kinesiological examination alongside the course of therapy of three female patients of similar age. Based on the entry kinesiological examination each patient had their exercise unit tailored for them, which the patient was instructed to exercise three times a week. The research was planned for two months, with two out of three patients having the total of 8 sessions, the first patient was unable to attend two therapies due to COVID-19 infection. There is a summary and the achieved effect described at the end of each case study. Next i focus on discussion, in which i summarize the aspects of the theoretical part with the results of the practical part, i also include a few recent publications focused on headaches and way of treating them. The thesis is finished with a summary and a list of used sources.

Aspects of the movement in the alpine environment, with emphasis on altitude sickness
Szotkowská, Lucie ; Kašpar, Ladislav (advisor) ; Pokorný, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis is focused on aspects of mountains activities as a ski touring, hiking and mountaineering. This field of sports are associated with the risk of altitude sickness. The thesis examines key parameters that contribute to the emergence of altitude sickness. The other examinees parameters are weather conditions, influence of high altitude, physical training and physiological manifestations of individual person. The aim of this thesis was find out which sports are the most affected by high altitude sickness. And what are the most common symptoms of altitude sickness. It was based on the literature and questionnaire.

Psychological aspects of headache
Tomečková, Sandra ; Šivicová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Najbrtová, Kristina (referee)
This thesis focuses on the psychological aspects of headaches from different perspectives which can affect patient's life. The theoretical part is divided into several chapters. The first one is devoted to the characteristics of different types of headaches and serves as a theoretical-neurologic background for the following chapters focused on the psychological aspects as mentioned. Next chapters are a mainstay of the thesis that deal with the psychological aspects as possible symptoms of headaches; accompanying psychological phenomenas which patient may face while having a pain attack and also psychological consequences of this health problem. The last chapter is dedicated to the co-morbidity of psychiatric disorders with migraine. In the empirical part a research project exploring the correlation of personality traits and headaches is presented. Keywords Headache, migraine, pain, personality traits, stress, psychiatric disorders, quality of life, psychosomatic

Prevention of postural defects in the population
Langmajerová, Jana ; Müllerová, Dana (advisor) ; Novák, Jaroslav (referee) ; Dlouhý, Pavel (referee)
This dissertation aims at verifying methodology used for somatographic evaluation of the shape and statics of the spine. The potential of the methodology verified lies in increased objectivity of upright body posture evaluation and thereby contributes to the specification of preventative measures for postural defects, and their consequences. Under a cross-sectional pilot study, a non-invasive somatographic method-a diagnostic DPT-3 system designated for spine shape diagnostics-was used to examine selected biomechanical parameters (spinal curves and statics in the sagittal plane in the upright position) in a total of 508 probands. Of this, 326 were school-age children and 182 adults. Among the key parameters monitored were: Cl (depth of cervical lordosis); LI (depth of lumbar lordosis); the sagittal balance of Cl/Ll, and VThk (distance of the peak of the thoracic kyphosis from the ideal verticals-IV). A questionnaire was used to evaluate the level of movement activity in probands and the relation between the occurrence of painful back and headaches and the measurement of biomechanical parameters and movement activity. A total of 81.3 % of children and 94.5 % of adults were found to have deviations from the biomechanically ideal posture model, which signals a postural defect. The values of the Cl (p...

Holinská, Eliška ; Hrdina, Radomír (advisor) ; Tilšer, Ivan (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Student: Eliška Holinská Supervisor: Prof. MUDr. Radomír Hrdina, CSc. Title of diploma thesis: Pharmacoteraphy of headache in adults Headache is one of the most common health problem that encounters almost everyone during the life. Depending on the cause, headaches can be divided on the primary headaches, which are the subject of the diploma thesis, and secondary headaches, which are caused by other diseases. The primary headaches are migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache and primary chronic daily headache. Headache is not a life-threating condition but it can significantly reduce the quality of life, particularly the chronic forms of headache. The determination of the right diagnosis is essential for the choice of appropriate therapy. For primary headache are typical negative test results, there are no structural lesions or signs of organic brain damage. Diagnostics is comlicated and it is primarily based on a carefully processed medical history. In the therapy of primary headache are used both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods, optimaly in combination. Pharmacological treatment consists of preventive and acute therapy. The preventive treatment is given to reduce the...
