Headache and Facial Pain Medicine

Everything you need to know about diagnosing and treating the most common pain condition in the world 

A Doody's Core Title for 2026!

The chief complaint of headache accounts for up to 19 percent of outpatient neurology office visits and is among the top three chief complaints presenting in the emergency rooms and leading to neurological consultation. 

From a world-renowned clinician on the subject, Headache and Facial Pain provides expert coverage of any type of headache readers are likely to encounter. Migraine, tension, and cluster headaches—the most common of all headaches—receive highly detailed discussions, while the many, generally secondary headaches, are covered more briefly. Practitioners and residents will find important information about conducting a physical exam, determining between primary and secondary headaches, diagnostic imaging and lab studies, and the anatomy and physiology of head pain.
