Abstract
Headache and facial pain disorders are prevalent, disabling, and largely
treatable, but are under-recognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated, and a
burden, both to the individual and to the society. Headache and facial pain cuts
across a diverse group of physicians, including neurologists, neurosurgeons,
headache specialists, otolaryngologists, dental specialists, anesthesiologists,
and pain specialists. This review discusses the relevant neuroanatomy, the
updates in pathophysiology, and classification of headache and facial pain
disorders. We will also introduce the art of history-taking in headache patients,
as well as physical examination, investigation, and treatment of the most common
disorders.
