Headache Care, Research and Education Worldwide
This book brings the theme of a global campaign to the forefront. Researchers, scientists, and respected clinicians from around the world discuss aspects of access to care, individual and societal burden.
New Frontiers in Headache and Pain Research
Headache refers to the pain in the region of the head or neck. It is one of the most commonly experienced physical discomforts. There are more than 200 types of headaches, some benign while others are life-threatening. They are classified into primary and secondary headaches. Primary headaches are recurrent headaches, which are not caused by an underlying condition, whereas secondary headaches are caused due to a different condition such as an infection, vascular disorder, head injury, brain bleed or tumors. Although most headaches can be evaluated based on the clinical history itself, it can be challenging to differentiate between a low-risk and high-risk headache. Mild to moderate headache...
Innovative Drug Development for Headache Disorders
This latest volume of the Frontiers in Headache Research series summarizes the several promising new avenues for the development of future drugs for the treatment of migraine.
Headache Classification and Epidemiology
Based on the 4th International Headache Research Seminar, this volume begins with two introductory papers ("Headache Classification and Diagnosis According to the International Headache Society" and "Clinical Characteristics of Migraine and Episodic Tension-Type Headache in Relation to Old and New Diagnostic Criteria") followed by six sections devoted to general principles of disease classification and diagnosis; the classification and diagnosis of primary headaches; the classification and diagnosis of secondary headaches; general principles of epidemiology; epidemiological studies of headache; and sociodemographic and psychosocial factors. Each section concludes with a discussion summary. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Reducing the Burden of Headache
This volume in the Frontiers in Headache Research series focuses on the social and economic consequences of headache. It analyses the financial cost of headache, the disability and suffering caused, and the impact on the quality of life of the suffers and on other family members.
From Basic Pain Mechanisms to Headache
Though the topics of pain and headache are obviously linked, these two research fields developed at their own pace. This book brings together researchers and clinicians from the forefront of these two disciplines to explore how the basic pain mechanisms relate to migraine and other forms of headache.
Headache Clinics
Headache is a huge public health problem and migraine alone cost 27 billion Euros per year in Europe. It is therefore important how the health care service for headache patients is organised throughout the world. Patients seen at headache clinics are more severely affected than those seen in general practice, and headache clinics need to be familiar with a long list of relatively rare headache disorders. Part of the "Frontiers in Headache Research" series, this volume is the first book to focus specifically on headache clinics, their classification and organization, their methods of diagnosis, and their approaches to multi-disciplinary management. The clinical features of patients seen in he...
Cluster Headache and Related Conditions
Cluster headache affects 0.1% of the population and is a severe form of primary headache. This volume of Frontiers in Headache Research is the only up-to-date and comprehensive review of the condition and its related disorders. The book begins with a discussion of the basic circadian biology of the condition followed by an overview of relevant epidemiological studies. Cluster headache is then described in comparison with related disorders, including paroxysmal hemicrania, SUNCT, hemicrania continua and hypnic headache, and the system of classification discussed. The volume then moves on to look at the wealth of basic research into cluster headache, including, animal studies, work on the autonomic nervous system in man, neuropeptide research, studies of biological rhythms, the associated endocrinology, information derived from neuroimaging and the influence of genetic factors. The final sections of the book examine acute treatment, prophylaxis, the potential for surgical treatment and the opportunities for further innovative therapies. The contributing authors are all international specialists in this field.
