Abstract

The chapter “My Head Hurts Everyday” covers the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of new daily persistent headache (NDPH). NDPH is a rare primary headache disease, but it is important for clinicians to recognize. It is typified by a nonspecific headache which is continuous and unremitting from onset, the date of which most patients can recall with accuracy. Though the disease may have features that resemble other primary headache disorders such as migraine or tension-type headache, it appears to be a unique primary headache disease separate from these other well-recognized disorders. Unfortunately, NDPH has not been thoroughly studied at present, so little is understood about its pathogenesis and best treatment approaches, making it a notoriously refractory headache disorder.
