註釋This concise and practical reference focuses on the latest diagnostic and treatment methods for primary headache disorders. Two nationally recognized headache specialists - and founders of a centre dedicated solely to headache disorders - provide guidelines for managing conditions ranging from the simpler forms of migraine to complex chronic daily headaches associated with medication overuse and co-morbid psychiatric symptoms.
  • Demonstrates how to take a proper history, interpret presenting symptoms, and choose appropriate testing to make an accurate diagnosis.
    • Offers a step-by-step approach to treatment planning, supported by coverage of typical problems, case presentations, and the use of calendars to log and track patient complaints.
  • Discusses the wide-spread prevalence of headache disorders and common misdiagnoses to help guard against ineffective treatment.
    • Features 'red flags' that signal possible organic and dangerous causes of headache conditions.
  • Reviews the pathophysiology of primary headache disorders to help provide rationales for treatment.
    • Provides both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic measures for treatment, with an emphasis on securing patient compliance.
  • Explores psychiatric aspects from biological, psychological, and behavioral viewpoints.
    • Gives ER and refractory patient treatment protocols.
