Headache and Migraine Biology and Management

In the treatment and management of headache patients, two important issues are crucial: More than 50% of individuals experiencing headache have only been treated symptomatically, with no appropriate diagnosis established, and history and neurologic examination are essential to establishing a diagnosis and thus selecting appropriate therapy. Headache and Migraine Biology and Management will be a practical text, based on contributing experts' clinical experience. It should serve as a working text and a resource for researchers and clinicians, uniting practical discussion of headache biology, current ideas on etiology, future research, and genetic significance and breakthroughs. This reference will be useful to those who want to understand headache biology, treat and manage symptoms, and for those performing research in the headache field.
