Abstract

Primary headaches include a variety of headache types. These are categorized in the ICHD-3 as being activity related, the result of direct physical stimuli, epicranial, and miscellanea, which includes hypnic and new daily-persistent headaches. Such headaches can be a presentation of structural lesions or other disorders; therefore, more investigation using neuroimaging or other laboratory tests is usually required. For example, a posterior fossa lesion should be considered for a primary cough headache. A new daily-persistent headache can mimic a chronic migraine or chronic tension headache, but can be differentiated from a daily continuous headache by its onset and a treatment refractory course. In this chapter, summary of clinical approaches and management of such headaches has been provided for effective care of patients. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
