[Tension headache and migraine--management in general practice].

Tension type headache, migraine, and chronic daily headache as a possible endpoint of both, are the most frequent manifestations of primary headache. Their effects on the quality of life and at the workplace, as well as the socioeconomic consequences, are largely underestimated. The aim of treatment is the elimination of the condition or at the very least an acceptable improvement for the patient.

[Clinical aspects and neurologic expert assessment in sequelae of whiplash injury to the cervical spine].

Whiplash injury to the cervical spine and its possible long-term sequelae, the late (or chronic) whiplash syndrome, are analysed based on a clearly defined accident mechanism and an initial battery of investigations to exclude lesions other than those affecting the soft tissue of the neck region (i.e. the consequences of strain and sprain).

[Determining the status of the cervical spine after whiplash injury].

The results of medical investigations following acceleration mechanism to the cervical spine (so called "soft tissue neck injury") are to be described in common diagnostic terms. Biomechanical and legal considerations are beyond medical competence. In certain cases, the clinical examination must be completed in cooperation with specialists.
