Most of the barriers preventing an appropriate care of CH sufferers may be overcome with a little organisational and cultural effort. The European Headache Alliance and the European Headache Federation have launched the Cluster Headache Day with the intention to solicit the Members of the European Parliaments’ help in promoting actions for improving the quality of life of CH patients.Read More →
Cluster headache (CH) comprises the most frequent trigeminal-autonomic headache syndrome and has a mean prevalence of 0,1% [1]. The designation highlights its typical pattern, in which each attack (a single episode of headache) occurs in clusters or bouts of variable duration, with a circadian and circannual rhythmicity [1, 2].Read More →
Management of chronic migraine (CM) or new daily persistent headache (NDPH) in those who require aggressive outpatient and inpatient treatment is challenging. Ketamine has been suggested as a new treatment for this intractable population.Read More →
Migraine is a highly disabling neurological pain disorder in which management is frequently problematic. Most abortive and preventative treatments employed are classically non-specific, and their efficacy and safety and tolerability are often unsatisfactory. Mechanism-based therapies are, therefore, needed. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is recognized as crucial in the pathophysiology of migraine, and new compounds that target the peptide have been increasingly explored in recent years. First tested were CGRP receptor antagonists; they proved effective in acute migraine treatment in several trials, but were discontinued due to liver toxicity in long-term administration. Read More →
Clinically significant anxiety and depression are common in patients with cancer, and are associated with poor psychiatric and medical outcomes. Historical and recent research suggests a role for psilocybin to treat cancer-related anxiety and depression.Read More →
Cluster headache (CH), the most common trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia, is an extremely debilitating primary headache disorder that is often not optimally treated. New evidence-based treatment guidelines for CH will assist clinicians with identifying and choosing among current treatment options.Read More →
