Abstract:
Headache Medicine has recently become an official medical subspecialty. Practitioners who specialize in the field come from many different backgrounds including neurology, internal medicine, anesthesiology, rehabilitation medicine, family medicine, psychiatry, dentistry and others. A great deal of research is being done in headache medicine and as a result, the field is one which is growing rapidly in every way. Interestingly, most patients with headache are not being treated by specialists in headache medicine, in large part because of the vast numbers of patients requiring medical attention for headache disorders, and the relatively small number of bona fide specialists. Comprehensive Review of Headache Medicine is the first concise manual aimed at the bulk of skilled practitioners taking care of the major share of headache sufferers who wish to understand the important concepts of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in this complex field. The organization of this book reflects the Curriculum for Headache Medicine designed by the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) which is the organization responsible for accrediting Headache Medicine training programs and accrediting individual practitioners. The content of the book also mirrors that of the UCNS board examination. The book consists of 4 parts: Part 1- Headache Medicine Basic Science; Part 2 - Diagnosis of Primary Headache Disorders; Part 3 - Diagnosis of Secondary Headache Disorders; and Part 4 - Headache Treatment. Each chapter is written in a concise, user-friendly way while simultaneously presenting cutting edge information about the diagnosis and treatment of headache. Each chapter also includes key tables and illustrations relevant to the study of headache medicine and review questions as a study resource at the end of the chapter. The editor Dr. Morris Levin is a charter
diplomat of the UCNS HM examination and has directed board review courses for the American Headache Society and Headache Cooperative of New England. All of the eligible chapter authors have taken and passed this examination as well. The International Classification of Headache Disorders is used throughout this text and a concerted effort has been made to base content on evidence when available, rather than personal practices. Each chapter is intended as a stand alone monograph and as a result the book can be read in virtually any order.
