This book offers a comprehensive overview of structural and functional neuroimaging findings related to the pathophysiology of primary and secondary headaches. In addition, it provides recommendations for best practice and decision-making in ordering neuroimaging investigation when faced with patients suffering from a vast range of headache types, whether in everyday practice, or in an ambulance or emergency room. Hopefully, this book will promote the adequate use of cutting-edge neuroimaging in headache research and in ongoing clinical trials in major neurology centers in Europe and worldwide. The structure of the book is designed to cover the basic principles of neuroimaging that neurologists should be aware of when making decisions about headache management, scientifically based recommendations for the application of different neuroimaging protocols in the emergency department and in the neurological clinic, the latest findings from advanced neuroimaging related to migraine without and with aura, chronic migraine and medication overuse headache, cluster headache, trigeminal neuralgia and other forms of headache and orofacial pain.
