This is the classic reference work on headache, recognized as such throughout the world. First published in 1948, it has helped advance the classification, diagnosis, and therapy of headache and other head pain. Completely revised by a new international team of contributors, the Fifth Edition continues to maintain the book's tradition of scholarship while updating it fully. Much is new to this edition, including chapters on the genetics and epidemiology of migraine, the pathophysiology of migraine, and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania. Advances in neuroimaging and other techniques of neurological diagnosis as they relate to headache are thoroughly discussed.
