Background: Diagnosing headache disorders poses significant challenges, particularly in primary and secondary levels of care (PSLC), potentially leading to misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. This study evaluates diagnostic agreement for migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and cluster headache (CH) between PSLC and tertiary care (TLC) and assesses adherence to the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD-3) guidelines.

Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was conducted at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin's tertiary headache center.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Instituto Neurológico de Colombia, Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia.

Background: This study examines an exceptional case of CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy), a hereditary cerebrovascular disease caused by a mutation in the notch3 gene. In contrast to typical cases manifesting before the age of 50 with migraines, this report highlights an atypical presentation in a 70-year-old woman with no history of migraines nor cognitive impairment.

Method: The patient, with a history of type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, and dyslipidemia, was initially treated for cognitive impairment and behavioral changes under suspicion of autoimmune encephalitis.

This clinical update serves as a brief summary of recently published and potentially practice changing journal articles. We review recent publications related to contraceptive safety and efficacy. The article discusses updated medical eligibility recommendations, effectiveness of progestin-only pills (including the newly approved over-the-counter pill), safety of estrogen containing contraceptives in those with migraine, topiramate interactions with hormonal contraception, and the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with oral emergency contraception to improve efficacy.

Neuromodulation for Headache Management in Pregnancy.

Curr Pain Headache Rep

January 2025

Department of Neurology - Headache Division, University of Miami Health, University of Miami School of Medicine, 1120 NW 14th Street, 13th Floor, Miami, FL, 33136, USA.

Purpose Of Review: Management of primary headache disorders during pregnancy is limited due to known teratogenicity or unknown safety of many currently available pharmaceutical therapies. Here, we explore the safety and efficacy of non-invasive neuromodulatory devices as another treatment modality for pregnant patients.

Recent Findings: There are six FDA-cleared, non-invasive neuromodulatory devices currently available for the management of headache that include remote electrical neuromodulation (REN), noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS), external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS), single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (sTMS), and external concurrent occipital and trigeminal neurostimulation (eCOT-NS).
