AI Article Synopsis
- Many patients with sinus headaches mistakenly receive treatment for rhinosinusitis, leading to unnecessary costs and burdens on the healthcare system.
- Recent advancements, particularly the International Classification of Orofacial Pain, have improved our understanding of nonrhinogenic headaches and their distinguishing features.
- A better grasp of nonrhinogenic headaches and new methods to differentiate them from rhinogenic ones are essential for improving patient management and care strategies.
Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: Although the majority of patients with sinus headache do not have rhinosinusitis, many patients will unnecessarily undergo work-up and treatment for rhinosinusitis. This leads to a significant cost burden to the healthcare system. In the era of value-based care, more effective management paradigms need to be developed for sinus headache.
Recent Findings: Recent efforts to classify nonrhinogenic headache, namely the International Classification of Orofacial Pain, have served as an important step in advancing our understanding of this heterogeneous condition. In addition, a review of the literature points to certain clinical features that may allow for the identification of nonrhinogenic headache based on history.
Summary: A greater understanding of nonrhinogenic headache as well as innovative tools to differentiate rhinogenic from nonrhinogenic headache are needed to change the paradigm in the management of patients with sinus headache.
