According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, Third edition (ICHD-3), abdominal migraine is a diagnosis of exclusion, characterized by recurrent abdominal pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, anorexia, or pallor. We report a case of a 44-year-old female with abdominal migraine associated with chronic apical periodontitis. Treatment with root canal therapy and periodontal management improved both the oral condition and migraine symptoms. Chronic periodontitis may contribute to migraines via systemic inflammation and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-mediated neurovascular mechanisms. This case underscores the importance of dental practitioners identifying and managing periodontal conditions to address potential systemic effects and multifactorial orofacial pain.

Introduction: Primary headaches pose a significant burden on children and adolescents, highlighting the need for effective non-pharmacological interventions. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive modality that has demonstrated efficacy in adult populations with primary headaches and has shown safety in adolescents with mental health disorders. However, its effectiveness in managing acute headache episodes and preventing recurrences in paediatric populations remains underexplored.

Background: Migraine and cluster headache are two primary headache disorders for which conventional treatments are limited. Classic psychedelic substances such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin are potentially promising new treatment candidates for these conditions.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible relationship between the lifetime use of classic psychedelics and frequent bad headaches in a large British cohort sample.

Chronic vestibular migraine (CVM) and cerebrovascular insufficiency are recognized contributors to cognitive impairment. Vestibular dysfunction affects spatial orientation and balance, while compromised cerebral perfusion impacts neuronal health. This study explores the combined pathological effects of these conditions and their role in cognitive decline and dementia.
