Overcoming Headache: Clinical Guide to Complex Headache Disorders

This book describes hitherto unknown or underrepresented issues of headache disorders and aims to reduce misdiagnosis of patients with intractable or difficult headaches. New thoughts and insights into headache medicine, which may contribute to better practice and outcomes for headache patients, will be discussed. Visual aids such as brain MRI and/or MRA findings, medical illustrations, and spine X-ray images will be provided where necessary to support or confirm headache diagnoses. For the past few decades, there has been significant progress in the diagnosis and management of headache disorders, such as with Triptans and CGRP antagonists. However, such progress has been mostly focused on migraine rather than the broader headache field. In the real world, there are more headache patients without migraine. This book aims to support proper diagnosis and effective management of non-migraine headaches as well as migraine. It will contribute significantly to the field of headache studies and improve clinical practice.
