Unmask the clinical complexity behind one of the most common
neurological symptoms
Headache is a common clinical complaint often overlooked by both
sufferers and physicians that can be intimidating to approach and
manage. Hundreds of different etiologies, both benign and
life-threatening, may primarily feature the symptom, and diagnosis
can therefore be challenging.
Headache is a practical guide to headache medicine designed for
both neurologists and general practitioners. Its expert author team
introduces the principles of classification and diagnosis, and
focuses in detail on the main classes of headache – migraine,
tension-type and trigeminal autonomic cephalgias, including cluster
headache. They also cover unusual headache disorders such as
hemicrania continua and new daily persistent headache, and address
the management of headache in women, children and the
elderly.
With a clinically focused practical approach, Headache draws
on the experience of international specialists to help you diagnose
and manage your patients more effectively.
