Topics include migraines, cluster headaches, neuropathic eye pain, and trigeminal and occipital neuralgia. This handy guide will be of use to physicians and advanced practitioners (nurse practitioners andphysician assistants) interested in the practice of Headache Medicine, emergency room and urgent care physicians, neurologists, internists, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, residents, and medical students undergoing a Neurology or Headache Medicine rotation.

Headaches are a common ailment that affects people of all ages and backgrounds. With such a high prevalence, a comprehensive understanding of headache medicine and treatment is crucial. However, the field of headache medicine is constantly evolving, making it challenging to stay up-to-date with the latest research and knowledge.

Enter “What Do I Do Now? Headache Medicine,” a timely volume that explores clinical scenarios related to headache medicine and treatment. Written by Olivia Begasse De Dhaem and Carolyn Bernstein, this book is part of a series that aims to educate readers on the diagnosis and management of common medical conditions.

The book begins with a discussion of Headache Medicine clinical pearls and red flags. These foundational concepts provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the various types of headaches, including migraines, cluster headaches, neuropathic eye pain, and trigeminal and occipital neuralgia.

The authors then outline primary and secondary headache disorders, using cases to illustrate presentations and guide readers through the approach to evaluation and management. This approach is particularly helpful for medical practitioners who may encounter patients with headache disorders but may not specialize in headache medicine.

“What Do I Do Now? Headache Medicine” follows the same order as the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3), providing readers with a standardized approach to the diagnosis and management of headaches.

The book’s concise and practical approach is a refreshing departure from the often-dense and time-intensive textbooks that can be overwhelming for busy medical professionals. The cases presented are challenging yet realistic, providing readers with an opportunity to test their knowledge and apply what they have learned.

One of the book’s strengths is the emphasis on multidisciplinary approaches to headache medicine. The authors acknowledge that headaches are complex and multifactorial, and treatment may require a combination of medical, psychological, and behavioral interventions. This understanding is reflected in the cases presented, which highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in the management of headaches.
