Hubungan Defisiensi Vitamin D dengan Tension Type Headache

Oleh :

Rainey Ahmad Fajri Putranta

Penelitian yang ada mengindikasikan adanya hubungan antara defisiensi vitamin D dengan sakit kepala tegang atau tension type headache. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa insufisiensi vitamin D dapat mempengaruhi hampir seluruh tubuh. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan hubungan antara nyeri kronik dengan serum vitamin D yang rendah, dan beberapa case series kecil melaporkan kemungkinan adanya hubungan vitamin D dengan nyeri kepala.[1,2]

Suatu meta-analisis melaporkan bahwa prevalensi sakit kepala berhubungan dengan letak lintang suatu negara, hal ini memunculkan pertanyaan mengenai adanya hubungan kausal antara defisiensi vitamin D dengan sakit kepala tegang, ataukah hanya berupa korelasi saja.
