paroxysmal hemicrania/cough

We report on the coexistence of both chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and cough headache in a middle-aged woman. Typical chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and cough headache episodes appeared independently and responded to indomethacin. The possible pathophysiological significance of this concurrence of

OBJECTIVE To describe two patients with recurring unilateral brief headaches that fulfilled criteria for both primary cough headache (CH) and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH). BACKGROUND CH is typically a bilateral headache, specifically triggered by cough, straining, or other Valsalva maneuvers.

There are several short-lived paroxysmal head pain syndromes, many of which are responsive to indomethacin, and some of which are potentially ominous. Included in this article are icepick headache, hypnic headache syndrome, chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, cough headache syndrome, coital headache, and

Hemicrania continua (HC) is a primary headache disorder characterized by a continuous, moderate to severe, unilateral headache and defined by its absolute responsiveness to indomethacin. However, some patients with the clinical phenotype of HC do not respond to indomethacin. We reviewed the records

A number of primary headache syndromes are marked by their short duration of pain. Many of these syndromes have their own unique treatment, so they must be recognized by practicing physicians. In this article, a number of the short-lasting headache disorders are reviewed, including chronic

Indomethacin-responsive headaches are a heterogeneous group of primary headache disorders distinguished by their swift and often absolute response to indomethacin. The epidemiology of these conditions is incompletely defined. Traditionally, indomethacin-responsive headaches include a subset of

Indomethacin-responsive headaches can present in the orofacial region. According to the classification of headache by the International Headache Society, indomethacin-responsive headaches include chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, hemicrania continue, benign cough headache, benign exertional headache,

Pharmacotherapy is the mainstay for patients with persistent headaches. When simple analgesics can no longer be used, combination analgesics are prescribed. Symptomatic medications also include antiemetics, ergot derivatives, corticosteroids, neuroleptics, and narcotics. Nonsteroidal
