The project took the form of surveys by structured questionnaire, conducted from November to August Unadjusted lifetime prevalence of any headache was Gender-adjusted 1-year prevalences were Personal impact was high, and included ictal symptom burden, interictal burden, cumulative burden and impact on others partners and children.

We confirmed that depression and especially anxiety are comorbid more than by chance with migraine. The level of this impact and its pervasiveness taken together with estimates of huge financial cost, have important implications for health policy in Europe.

Eurolight should proceed with focusing on cluster headache and headache in the elderly. Background : Despite the very high prevalence of headaches, multidisciplinary headache clinics are still few and better documentation of their content and efficacy is needed. Objective : To describe the structure of a multidisciplinary approach and to characterize the patients and treatment results from existing centres. Further to describe the proposed organization of headache care in Europe. At this level headache specialists and a multidisciplinary team should conduct more complex treatment, initiate research and education.

The composition of the multidisciplinary team may vary, however and here there is no international consensus. Most centres include nurses, psychologists and in some countries also sports-therapists or physiotherapists. A systematic review of patients from the tertiary Danish Headache Centre revealed that patients had a mean age of In recent years more evidence from other centres has been provided and the positive outcome was confirmed, also in so called refractory patients.

Conclusion : Treatments strategies to the complicated headache patients need individualization but the present evidence provide hope for the patients and a strong support for a multidisciplinary approach in a tertiary headache centre. The existing treatment strategies will be presented. Further discussion and evaluation of the elements and the outcome predictors are important for future planning.

Migraine is a common debilitating brain disorder characterized by severe headache attacks with various associated neurological symptoms. About one-third of migraine patients experience an aura preceding the headache phase: hence migraine with and without aura. Many migraine patients also suffer from comorbid neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, depression and stroke.

Migraine is a genetic disease with both environmental and genetic factors determining the susceptibility to attacks. Recent technological advances in genetic analysis, which allowed simultaneous testing of hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs in tens of thousands of migraine patients in genome-wide association studies GWAS , made it feasible to identify robust gene variants for the common forms of migraine.

Whereas GWAS performed in various migraine subtypes yielded different top hits for the different subtypes, additional analyses seem to point to a shared genetic underpinning in migraine. Identified gene variants point towards various molecular pathways, e. GWAS data sets, to some extent, can also been used to identify the type of brain cell involved in pathology.

GWAS also enable the identification of shared genetic factors for diseases comorbid with migraine. Unlike gene mutations in monogenic migraine subtypes, the effect size of gene variants in common migraine is small, thus complicating direct translation to diagnostic tests, pathogenetic mechanisms, and treatment targets.

In fact, strategies to properly address the biological role of these variants are still being developed. The coming years will show the true impact of these combined genetic approaches on the identification of genes, pathological mechanisms, and diagnosis of patients in migraine. Research has devised various techniques for investigating nociceptive and non-nociceptive somatosensory pathways in patients with neuropathic pain.

The most widely agreed tools in use today include neurophysiological techniques and skin biopsy. Laser Evoked Potentials LEPs are the easiest and most reliable neurophysiological technique for assessing nociceptive pathway function.

In diseases associated with nociceptive-pathway damage, LEPs can be absent, reduced in amplitude or delayed in latency. Skin biopsy is a reliable and minimally invasive tool for investigation of nociceptive fibres in human epidermis and dermis.

Researchers have used this technique for assessing epidermal nerve fibres qualitatively and quantitatively. Skin biopsy can be done at any site of the body, with a disposable punch, using a sterile technique, and under local anaesthesia. Many investigators have used skin biopsy to investigate epidermal nerve fibres in various peripheral nerve diseases, such as diabetic neuropathy, infectious and inflammatory neuropathies and neuropathies associated with systemic diseases.

In all studies, epidermal nerve fibre density was significantly lower in patients with neuropathy than in controls. Patients suffering from chronic headaches challange health care systems. A proportion of chronic headache patients does not properly respond to prophylactic treatments or shows low tolerability profile and remains in need for alternative therapeutic strategies and options. The improved understanding of head pain pathophysiology has focused attention on the role of neural structures both at peripheral and central nervous system level.

Thus in the attempt to improve chronic intractable neurovascular headache migraine and cluster headache patients a number of neuromodulation procedures targeting peripheral and central nervous system structures have been tried. So far, efficacy and safety of various non-invasive and invasive stimulation procedures and devices have been investigated.

Vagus nerve stimulation, supraorbital stimulation and single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation are considered non invasive neurostimulation options. While invasive procedures are occipital nerve stimulation, sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation and hypothalamic deep brain stimulation. Years after their introduction there is still debate about their use and place in clinical practice. Results from open label series and few controlled trials suggest the need of further investigations.

Criteria employed to define intractable headaches were given more than ten years ago 1. An ad hoc European Headache Federation expert board has reviewed these aspects 2. A still unsolved issue is the lack of adequate placebo to properly design randomized controlled trials in neurostimulation studies.

In patients with chronic pain conditions interpretation of placebo effect is a challange particularly for headache specialists. In chronic migraine and chronic cluster headache patients occurrence of psychiatric comorbidities is frequently encountered. Also, occurrence of medication overuse headache — seen as an addiction behavior – is frequently observed both in chronic migraine and chronic cluster headache.

These factors are often a barrier when selecting patients for neurostimulation procedures. Long term experience with deep brain stimulation of the posterior hypothalamic area in chronic cluster headache has suggested that the generator of the attacks is not there 3. Similarly other neurostimulation procedures tried in migraine and cluster headache have shown poor, unsatisfactory ability to stop ongoing attacks.

Towards a definition of intractable headache for use in clinical practice and trials. Cephalalgia ; — Neuromodulation of chronic headaches: position statement from the European Headache Federation. J Headache Pain. Success, failure and putative mechanisms in hypothalamic stimulation for drug resistant chronic cluster headache.

Pain ; 1 : An underlying concept in the new ICHD-3 classification of trigeminal neuralgia is the postulation that clinical presentations matter because they reflect distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.

Previous attempts to establish the connection between the two have yielded uncertain results as the authors have paid limited attention to individual clinical symptoms and signs. Yet, the relatively strict criteria for trigeminal neuralgia and its subgroups yield homogenous populations that allow advantage to be taken of the advances in neurophysiological and imaging methods. It is now possible to conduct subgroup-specific pathophysiological studies aimed at biomarkers that pave the way for precision diagnosis of TN and individualised therapy.

An example of how this might be done comes from recent studies based on sensory profiling of peripheral neuropathic pain. In a large group of patients with three different diagnoses, cluster analysis of detailed sensory testing revealed three main sensory phenotypes [1], with the potential to allocate individual patients to these sensory groups [2].

In my presentation I will suggest a pathway as to how to accomplish this. I will start by arguing that the existing data are sufficient to recommend preferred treatment in selected cases. I will then highlight a number of clinically relevant research questions that can be answered by large-population multi-centre studies applying established methods ranging from QST and evoked potentials to structural and functional neuroimaging of the trigeminal system and linking them with clinical signs and symptoms.

Alongside this, I will discuss the challenges of phenotype profiling that could guide pharmacotherapy with, e. Peripheral neuropathic pain: a mechanism-related organizing principle based on sensory profiles.

Pain ; Stratifying patients with peripheral neuropathic pain based on sensory profiles: algorithm and sample size recommendations. Mild head injury is associated with good recovery in most patients, but with a small risk of poor outcomes.

Headache is the most common complication that occurs as an isolated symptom or can be a part of the post-concussion syndrome which can also include dizziness, fatigue, reduced ability to concentrate, psychomotor slowing, mild memory problems, insomnia, anxiety, personality changes and irritability Following head injuries, children may develop headache for the first time or have their previously experienced headache getting worse in severity or frequency.

Post head injury headache is referred to as acute posttraumatic headache if it evolves within one week of the injury and resolves within 3 months and it is called chronic posttraumatic headache CPTH if it persisted for over 3 months.

The pathophysiology of posttraumatic headache is not well understood, but likely to involve several mechanisms and factors. It is suggested that even minor head injury may cause a widespread stretching or shearing injuries to the axonal network. Psychosocial factors may also play a role in the pathogenesis of CPTH. The clinical features of CPTH are similar to primary headache disorders phenotypes with the majority of children presenting with migraine-like headache and probable tension-type headache.

Some children may have mixed or unclassified headache disorders. In the majority of children no investigations are necessary. However, neuroimaging and other investigations may be necessary in children with red flags or abnormal findings on neurological examination. The management of children with CPTH should include reassurances, adequate pain relief and preventative treatment as appropriate.

Multidisciplinary approach is necessary and should include support from clinical psychology and education to help the child achieve normal school attendance and education. The interaction between enzyme inductive antiepileptics EiAED like carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone, phenobarbitone, rufinamide, lamotrigine, topiramate and COCs is well-known.

Therefore, while taking this medication, the risk of contraceptive failure is quite high. The mechanism of action of enzyme-inductors is to modify the metabolism of the sexual steroids in the liver. Moreover, ethinylestradiol EE might modify the metabolism of certain antiepileptic drugs glucuronization of lamotrigine. Therefore, the gynaecologist has to be careful when prescribing the pill or administering other types of hormonal contraceptives for WWE.

Knowing the interaction between antiepileptics and contraceptives is important to find the most effective medication with fewer side effects. Nowadays, women with epilepsy do not always get the right information; thus, it is necessary to improve the cooperation and consultation between the epileptologist and the gynaecologist. The information is also needed even if the patient is sexually inactive. Migraine is a complex neuronal disorder where the cortex has a key importance and characteristic headache attack is associated with multiple sensorial disturbances.

A cerebral cortical phenomenon known as cortical spreading depression CSD was linked to lateralized headache. CSD is an intrinsic brain phenomenon to a noxious stimulus such as high potassium or trauma, and manifests as an extreme excitability state of the gray matter with massive depolarization of neuronal and glial membranes and redistribution of ions.

Propagating depolarization in the brain parenchyma leads to a release of various vasoactive and nociceptive ions and molecules. Vascular compartment reacts with initial hyperemia followed by long-term oligemia. It occurs in many species from rodents to primates, though it is hard to initiate and sustain its propagation in gyrencephalic brains. Spreading depression wave involves neuronal, glial and vascular cells, and leads remarkable effects on those compartments and overlying meningeal membranes with capability of triggering peripheral trigeminal fibers and second order trigeminal neurons in the brainstem nucleus, though its effect on subcortical structures are less known.

CSD is implicated in the development of inflammatory response and releasing CGRP and nitric oxide from trigeminal nerve endings. Animal studies investigating the mechanisms of migraine and CSD are usually conducted under anesthesia, despite the fact that pain is a conscious experience. Anesthesia have profound effects on the mechanisms by which CSD is initiated and propagated, and clearly prevents observation of any associated behavioral response.

Therefore CSD studies in awake animals are crucial for translational migraine research. Cerebral cortex and thalamus are inseparable in sensory processing and thalamic reticular nucleus TRN is the gatekeeper of sensory outflow to the cortex.

Electrocorticographic recordings demonstrated the direct propagation of CSD waves in to thalamic reticular nucleus. It was dependent on full conscious experience and highly vulnerable to anesthetics.

MK did not exert any effect on CSD induced amygdala activation and anxiety behavior. TRN is also involved in discrimination of sensory stimulus and transient disruption of sensorial perception during migraine headache attacks was reported Boran et al, Involvement of a strategic subcortical thalamic structure by a cortical event is important to explain several clinical features of migraine such as 1 Dysfunction of the GABAergic neurons in TRN would result in enhanced transmission of sensory information to the cortex and disruption of sensory discrimination 2 Photophobia and visual hallucinations of aura may reflect dysregulation of visual stimuli by the TRN, 3 TRN could play a role in either termination or initiation of an attack as sleep is closely related with migraine, attacks are often associated with the circadian cycle and are typically relieved by sleep, 4 Thalamo-cortical gating could be a novel target in migraine as valproate, triptans and CGRP antagonists MK suppressed CSD induced TRN activation.

Common misdiagnoses for TN include dental pathology, other regional neuralgias, short-lasting neuralgiform headaches with autonomic signs SUNHA , cluster headache and theoretically an atypical shorter cluster-tic syndrome CTS. More rarely there may be more sinister underlying disorders tumors, multiple sclerosis that induce TN-like syndromes. We will outline and highlight the salient features across disorders that will ensure correct diagnosis.

Trigeminal neuralgia TN is a neurological disease which is peculiar under several respects. The diagnosis of TN, in its typical presentation, in unmistakable on clinical grounds alone. Pain manifests with intense bursts that occur and end abruptly and usually last few seconds only. This type of pain is paradigmatic of what pain scholars call paroxysmal pain. The most common verbal descriptors are electric-shock like or stabbing. Unique to TN is the trigger mechanism.

The attacks are evoked by innocuous stimuli in tiny zones of the extra- or intraoral trigeminal territories. The most frequent trigger maneuvers include activities of the daily life such as washing, cleaning, brushing the teeth or talking. Although the trigger zones shared by most patients are confined between the nostril and the lateral perioral region, any area innervated by the trigeminal nerve may do. One aspect of pathophysiology is supported by established neurophysiologic, neuroimaging, and histologic evidence: the primary mechanism is focal demyelination of primary afferents near the entry extra- or intra-axial of the trigeminal root into the pons.

A second pathophysiologic theory, admittedly more debatable, is that hyperexcitable primary afferents, in the area of focal demyelination, become a source of ectopic generation of impulses and ephaptic transmission cross talk from close, healthy nerve fibers. More supported by evidence from animal models is the generation of high-frequency discharges. A third potential step, with so far almost no sound evidence at all, is that the hyperactivity of primary afferents secondarily induces central sensitization of wide dynamic range neurons in the spinal trigeminal nucleus or even more central changes.

Finally, TN is unique also for its pharmacological and surgical treatment. TN is highly sensitive to voltage-gated, frequency-dependent sodium-channels blockers and almost nothing else , and is the neuropathic pain condition that respond best to surgical lesions of the postganglionic primary sensory afferents. The speaker will present an overview of the methodological potentials and challenges of the HUNT survey.

Results will be displayed regarding prevalences of the common headache disorders and their trends over time. Most importantly, the HUNT-survey enables risk factor analyses. Findings will be reviewed for factors of life such as physical activity, substance use, head traumas, insomnia, and mortality. Finally, associations between intracranial abnormalities and headache disorders are now beginning to be published from a neuroimaging sub-study HUNT MRI.

SD is widely accepted as the pathophysiological event underlying migraine aura, and may play a role in headache pathogenesis in secondary headache disorders such as ischemic stroke, subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy.

Here, we provide an overview of the pathogenic mechanisms and propose plausible hypotheses on the involvement of SD in primary and secondary headache disorders.

SD can activate downstream trigeminovascular nociceptive pathways to explain the cephalgia in migraine, and possibly in secondary headache disorders as well. In healthy, well-nourished tissue such as migraine , the intense transmembrane ionic shifts, the cell swelling, and the metabolic and hemodynamic responses associated with SD do not cause tissue injury; however, when SD occurs in metabolically compromised tissue e.

Recent non-invasive technologies to detect SDs in human brain injury may aid in the investigation of SD in headache disorders in which invasive recordings are not possible. SD explains migraine aura and progression of neurological deficits associated with other neurological disorders. Studying the nature of SD in headache disorders might provide pathophysiological insights for disease and lead to targeted therapies in the era of precision medicine.

The proportion of adult patients reporting non-traumatic headache as their major complaint at ER access ranges from 0. The main objective is to identify the patients who require urgent investigations besause of a suspected serious secondary cause. The crucial step in the diagnosis is the initial interview. Most patients presenting with headache as the chief complaint have a primary headache disorder, such as migraine or tension-type headache, the diagnosis of which relies on strict diagnostic criteria in the absence of any objective marker.

Secondary headache disorders manifest as new-onset headaches that arise in close temporal association with the underlying cause. Secondary headache should be suspected in any patient without a history of primary headache who reports a new onset headache and in any patient with a new unusual headache that is clearly distinct from their usual primary headache attacks. Since many serious disorders, such as subarachnoid haemorrhage, can present with isolated headache and a normal clinical examination, diagnosis is reliant on clinical investigation.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage should be suspected in anyone with a sudden or a thunderclap headache. Diagnosis is based on plain brain computed tomography and, if tomogram is normal, on lumbar puncture. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome should be suspected in anyone with recurrent thunderclap headaches over a few days.

Cervical artery dissection, cerebral venous thrombosis, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome and pituitary apoplexy may present with isolated headache and normal physical examination, normal cerebral computed tomography and normal cerebrospinal fluid.

When computed tomography and lumbar puncture are normal, other investigations are needed, including cervical and cerebral vascular imaging and brain magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment of headaches in the ER should be based on the etiology. The treatment of secondary headaches requires the treatment of the underlying cause and a symptomatic treatment based on intravenous acetaminophen or on opiates depending on the pain intensity. In women migraine prevalence peaks during reproductive years.

Menstruation is a significant risk factor for migraine with attacks most likely to occur between 2 days before the onset of menstruation and the first three days of bleeding. The pathophysiology of menstrual attacks involves estrogen withdrawal and potentially abnormal release of prostaglandins triggered by the end-cycle drop in estrogen level. Reproductive year are the life span during which many women require effective contraception. Migraine with aura MA and to a lesser extent migraine without aura MO increase the risk for cardiovascular events, especially for stroke.

There is a substantial elevation of these risks in migraineurs using combined contraceptive pills COC. Several clinical trials report improvements in migraine frequency and intensity in users of the progestin-only pill POP with desogestrel 75microgram.

Both, inhibition of ovulation and ist continous use contribute to reduce hormone flucutations during ist use. The positive impact of this pill has been shown in MA and MO patients. In women with chronic migraine, the reduction in pain medications used contributes to prevent medication overuse headaches. The existing nosology of cranial-nerve pains does not fully portray the subtle differences between various conditions. However, rather than abandoning many long-established diagnostic terms, this classification retains them, providing detailed definitions for differential diagnoses and their types, subtypes and subforms.

There are several axes of classification: a syndomology neuralgia vs. The authors of the classification tried to incorporate the existing literature into the IHS classification system. The current version defines the trigeminal neuralgia and trigeminal neuropathy. Trigeminal neuralgia is subdivided into classical due to nerve-vascular compression, not purely a nerve vascular contact , idiopathic unknown cause or nerve vascular contact, because the value of a nerve vascualr contact is unclear and secondary due to other disease.

Base don the clinical presentation it is further characterised as TN with and without concomitant facial pain indicating pure response to treatment. The cut-line for distinguishing between an acute and persistent headache is defined to be 3 months: resolution of headache within this period complies with an acute, persistence for the longer time — with a persistent headache.

Headache attributed to the injury to the head is further subclassified based on the severity of preceding trauma. Probably one of the most debated diagnostic criterions of this chapter is the time of onset of headache after a traumatic event. For the main classification it is agreed that causative relation between trauma and development of headache should be within 7 days after the trauma.

However based on a data derived from reports of everyday clinical practice alternative criteria published under the Appendix allow the delayed onset of headache, reaching up to 30 days following the injury. Clinical phenotypes of post-traumatic headache are varying from mild tension-type-like to severe migrainous. Pathophysiological mechanisms of post-traumatic headaches remain largely unclear as a reason to the epidemiological data suggesting, that mild injury to the head represents a greater risk of developing persistent headache.

The latter one causes a considerable reduction of health related quality of life and frequently is challenging in terms of treatment, requiring pharmacological preventative medications and non-pharmacological cognitive behavioural treatment, physical therapy, counselling etc approaches.

For treatment resistant cases interventional procedures, usage of onabotulinum toxin A and neurostimulation have been reported to be potentially effective.

To determine persistence of and transitions between episodic migraine EM and chronic migraine CM and to describe and model the natural variability of self-reported frequency of headache days. Relatively little is known about the stability of headache days per month in persons with EM or CM over time. Within person variability in headache day frequency has implications for the diagnosis of CM, assessing treatment in clinical practice and for the design and interpretation of clinical trials.

We modelled longitudinal transitions between EM and CM and, separately, headache day frequency per month using negative binomial repeated measures regression models NBRMR.

Among the 5, respondents with EM at baseline providing 4 or 5 waves of data, 5, Among respondents with CM at baseline providing 4 or 5 waves of data, had CM in every wave Individual plots revealed striking within-person variations in headache days per month. Follow-up at 3 month intervals reveals a high level of short-term variability in headache days per month.

Nearly three forths of persons with CM at baseline drop below this diagnostic boundary at least once over the course of a year. These findings my influence case definitions of migraine subtypes, the design and interpretation of epidemiologic studies and clinical trials as well as the interpretation of change in headache days in clinical practice.

Impairment of brain solute clearance through the recently described glymphatic system has been linked with traumatic brain injury, sleep deprivation, and aging. This lecture will summarize new data showing that cortical spreading depression CSD , the neural correlate of migraine aura, closes the paravascular space and impairs glymphatic flow. This closure holds the potential to define a novel mechanism for regulation of glymphatic flow.

It also implicates the glymphatic system in altered cortical and endothelial functioning of the migraine brain, which can explain the increased risk of stroke among migraine aura patients. Many patients report that their need to avoid light is driven mainly by how unpleasant it makes them feel. This lecture will attempt to explain why is light unpleasant. The data presented will show that during migraine, light can trigger the perception of a hypothalamic-mediated autonomic responses such as chest tightness, throat tightness, shortness of breath, fast breathing, faster than usual heart rate, light-headedness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, salivation, rhinorrhea, stuffy sinuses and lacrimation; b hypothalamic mediated non-autonomic responses such as thirst, hunger drowsiness, tiredness, sleepiness, fatigue, and yawning; c negative emotions such as intense, irritable, angry, nervous, hopeless, needy, agitated, sad, scared, cranky, upset, depressed, disappointed, jittery, worried, stressed, anxious, panic and fear; and d positive emotions such as happy, relaxing, soothing, and calming.

By defining better the aversive nature of light, the findings suggest that the retina and hypothalamus play a critical role in migraine-type photophobia and that photophobia may not depend on hyperexcitable visual cortex, as traditionally thought. We have recently described a macroscopic pathway in the central nervous system — the glymphatic system that facilitates the clearance of interstitial waste products from neuronal metabolism.

Glymphatic clearance of macromolecules is driven by cerebrospinal fluid CSF that flows in along para-arterial spaces and through the brain parenchyma via support from astroglial aquaporin-4 water channels. The glymphatic circulation constitutes a complete anatomical pathway; para-arterial CSF exchanges with the interstitial fluid, solutes collect along para-venous spaces, then drain into the vessels of the lymphatic system for ultimate excretion from the kidney or degradation in the liver.

As such, this may after circulation represent a novel and unexplored target for prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of headache in General Population adults years old in Greece.

A quantitative study, using the form of computer-assisted telephone interviews C. A draft questionnaire consisting of 37 questions was delivered in headache sufferers in a pre-study work to evaluate the diagnosis of the primary headache disorder according to ICH-3beta diagnostic criteria.

After the analysis of this questionnaire the specific item questionnaire was decided. The one-year prevalence of Migraine that reduces activity was 8. Females tend to suffer more from migraines and TTH as well as ages The average patients has been suffering from headaches for 12 years. Headaches typically occur once a month or more frequently, 8 days per month on average.

Although patients rarely misss work due to headaches, they do report headache-induced reductions in performance around 3 days per month. About one fifth of patients seek professional treatment for headaches, most of them in the private sector. The most popular specialty for headache treatment is neurologist, followed by internist.

Regarding both prophylactic and acute treatment, patients prefer oral medication to injection, even if the former is administered more frequently. The stimulation device seems to be more attractive to males.

Painkillers also are by far the most common acute treatment for headaches and the vast majority of patients have never taken prophylaxis for headaches. Only a small fraction have stopped taking a prophylactic treatment due to adverse effects.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide CGRP , a neuropeptide previously known only by specialists interested in neurogenic inflammation, is now discussed throughout the communities of migraine researchers, headache therapists and even migraine patients. The reason for this surprising career of CGRP awareness is evident. CGRP is the main neuropeptide of a major part of nociceptive trigeminal afferents and is released upon their activation. Thus CGRP release is characteristic, though in no way specific, for the trigeminovascular system, which is regarded as the structural basis for headache generation.

In fact, CGRP has been found at elevated concentrations in the cranial outflow during attacks of migraine and some trigemino-autonomic headaches; infusion of CGRP into patients suffering from primary headaches can cause head pain mimicking their spontaneous headache attacks; inhibiting CGRP or its receptors or its release can be preventive or therapeutic in those types of primary headaches.

However, looking behind the curtain of impressive significance of this biomarker, broad gaps in our knowledge are visible concerning the sites of CGRP release, its flow through the meningeal compartments, the sites and mechanisms of actions and its elimination. With preclinical experiments we are only at the beginning to study these issues, which are increasingly important in the light of new pharmacological developments targeting CGRP and its receptors by antagonists or monoclonal antibodies, and keeping in mind possible risks of a long-term treatment with these substances.

Trigeminal activity controlled by CGRP receptor activation could indeed be a pivot point in headache generation and therapy. However, measurable circulating concentrations of CGRP are far too low to explain any receptor effects, while it is difficult to assess its real concentrations near the likely release sites, namely the meningeal terminals of trigeminal afferents, the trigeminal ganglion and the central terminals in the trigemino-cervical brainstem complex.

The central effects of CGRP as a synaptic neuromodulator could explain neuronal CGRP effects to some extent but big molecules like monoclonal antibodies are unlikely to pass the blood-brain barrier and may not be able to act there. Peripheral effects of CGRP are largely confined to its well-known vascular functions, while fast neuronal effects are not established so far in the trigeminal system.

The trigeminal ganglion is a possible point of CGRP action but only few experiments have shown an impact on the signalling or metabolic changes of ganglion neurons. Therefore new experimental approaches are needed to uncover the secrets of the nociceptive CGRP signalling system and its therapeutic control. Medical management of headache disorders, for the vast majority of people affected by them, can and should be carried out in primary care.

It does not require specialist skills. Nonetheless, it is recognised that non-specialists throughout Europe may have received limited training in the diagnosis and treatment of headache. This publication, in the Journal of Headache and Pain , provides a combination of educational materials and practical management aids. It is a product of the Global Campaign against Headache, a programme of action for the benefit of people with headache conducted by the UK-registered non-governmental organization Lifting The Burden LTB in official relations with the World Health Organization.

It has undergone review by a wider consultation group of headache experts, including representatives of the member national societies of EHF, primary-care physicians from eight countries of Europe, and lay advocates from the European Headache Alliance. While the focus is Europe, the inclusion in the consultation group of members from all six world regions has aimed for cross-cultural relevance of all content so that it is useful to a much wider population.
