In its different presentations, headache is one of the most common
symptoms seen by family practitioners. The difficulty is in
diagnosing the cause of the headache so that the appropriate
treatment is provided, or if referral to a specialist is the
recommended course of action.
The ABC of Headache helps with this dilemma and guides
the healthcare professional to look for the possible causes of
presenting symptoms. Based on real case histories, each chapter
guides the reader from symptoms through to diagnosis and
management.
This new ABC is a highly illustrated, informative, and
practical source of knowledge. With links to further information
and resources, it is a valuable text for healthcare professionals
at all levels of practice and training.
