Background And Purpose: Patients presenting at the emergency room (ER) with headache often encounter a hostile atmosphere and experience delays in diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to design a protocol for the ER with the goal of optimizing the care of patients with urgent headache to facilitate diagnosis and expedite treatment.
Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted via a MEDLINE search in October 2021.
Introduction: Chronic cluster headache (CCH) is a relatively rare primary headache disorder whose management is often challenging. The prevalence of refractory CCH (rCCH) is unknown. Our aim is to describe the frequency of rCCH within a population of CCH, define the clinical profile of the refractory patients and the treatments they underwent.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted through the review of medical records of CCH patients from six hospitals in Madrid.
Article Synopsis
- Anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies are effective treatments for preventing migraines, but patients show varied responses, influenced by specific clinical factors.
- A study involving over 5,800 patients identified key predictors of treatment response at 6 months, including older age, unilateral pain, absence of depression, fewer monthly migraine days, and lower disability levels.
- The findings highlight that higher migraine frequency and greater baseline disability negatively impact treatment effectiveness, which can inform future patient management and reimbursement policies.
