Overview

Headache continues to have a major impact on the lives of many people across the world, and the needs of many sufferers go unmet. It impacts people of all ethnicity, age, and socio-economic background, and can have potentially life-changing consequences. Headaches can be accompanied by other co-morbidities and encountered by a wide variety of medical professionals, making accurate diagnosis and management challenging.This is the second edition of Headache: A Practical Manual, developed by the British Association for the Study of Headache (BASH), an organisation of health care professionals whose aim is to reduce the burden of headache through education and research. Practical, and easy to navigate, this comprehensive handbook offers a concise overview of the diagnosis and treatment of headache conditions.Edited by a general practitioner and an academic neurologist, and written by experts in the field, this pocket-sized book is a concise reference for effective management for health care practitioners at all levels.
