This wonderful, new headache book for doctors and nurses covers everything anyone would want to know about headache and does so in an innovative style. The multiple authors follow the ICHD 3 diagnostic
criteria from beginning to end and delve into every single category of headache; but they take out important topics and cover them separatelyutilizing a special teaching method. For example, they discuss what positive
points help to make a diagnosis and what negative points negate a diagnosis.
This is rarely discussed in a textbook. Each chapter has numerous useful references, and the reader does not have to go to multiple sources to learn all about headache.
This book accurately teaches the reader to diagnose headache by very careful history taking; in fact, it gives the reader the exact questions to ask. It carefully distinguishes adults, older adults, and children from each
other. It then dissects each question you ask in the history and explains why one patient answer will lead to a different diagnosis from another. It is very hard to get this information in other formats. We know the diagnostic
criteria for each headache according to IHS criteria; but how do we obtain the accurate information to make that diagnosis? For example, in the section on frequency and duration of episodes, it teaches how each headache is diagnosed differently depending on the details and helps tremendously with making the diagnosis. It has numerous informative tables that contrast aura with transient ischemic attack or side-locked migraine with cluster headache. These nuances in understanding headache types are hard to
find in other textbooks and journals.
