INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine if specific anatomical changes were present in patients with recurrent headaches including patients with chronic migraines, chronic tension-type headaches, and daily persistent headaches. A retrospective study of 200 patients was performed to evaluate the potential of measuring the amount of nasal blood pool activity (nasal congestion) as a predictive marker for recurrent headaches. METHODS: A cohort analysis was performed involving patients who had been referred to the Nuclear Medicine Clinic over a 3-year period for whole-body blood pool scans. The scans were evaluated by region of interest (ROI) analysis of nasal and heart max pixel count ratios (NHMRs) to determine an association between nasal blood pooling activity and recurrent headaches at the time of the initial scan and in follow-up evaluations over a period of 3-6 years. RESULTS: Significantly greater NHMRs were observed in 122 patients with chronic headaches at the time of referral for their initial whole-body blood pool scan when compared with those patients without recurrent headaches ( CONCLUSION: Patients with recurrent headaches have significantly increased nasal activity as observed on
