Neck pain and headache: Pathophysiology, treatments and future directions

Haidar M. Al-Khazali et al.

Summary: Neck pain is a common complaint in the general population, often associated with primary headache disorders such as migraine and tension-type headache. There is a high prevalence of neck pain in people with migraine or tension-type headache, and it has been identified as a risk factor for these headaches. The exact mechanisms linking neck pain to migraine and tension-type headache are uncertain, but pain sensitivity appears to play a role.

Prevalence of neck pain in migraine: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Haidar Muhsen Al-Khazali et al.

Summary: Neck pain is a common symptom among patients with migraine, and it is more prevalent in patients with chronic migraine compared to episodic migraine. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of neck pain in migraine patients and non-headache controls through systematic literature search and meta-analysis.

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP)-Targeted Monoclonal Antibodies and Antagonists in Migraine: Current Evidence and Rationale

Fred Cohen et al.

Summary: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of migraine, and there are two classes of therapeutic agents targeting CGRP: CGRP-targeted monoclonal antibodies and small-molecule antagonists. Multiple clinical studies have shown the efficacy and tolerability of these treatments.

Occipital Headache Evaluation and Rates of Migraine Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment in Patients Receiving Greater Occipital Nerve Blocks in an Academic Pain Clinic

Shawn M. Love et al.

Summary: This study assessed the frequency of screening, diagnosis, and treatment of migraine in patients receiving greater occipital nerve blocks in a pain clinic. The results showed that patients evaluated by neurologists were more likely to undergo assessments for photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea, and were more likely to be diagnosed with migraine compared to those evaluated by non-neurologist pain specialists. Most patients diagnosed with migraine received appropriate acute, preventive, and lifestyle treatments. Clinicians should be vigilant for migraine in patients with occipital headache.

Narrative review of peripheral nerve blocks for the management of headache

Jennifer Stern et al.

Summary: Peripheral nerve blocks, especially occipital nerve blocks, are effective treatment options for adults with migraine and other headache disorders, with studies showing reductions in headache frequency, intensity, and/or duration. Overall, they are well tolerated with rare serious side effects reported.

A perspective on the use of the cervical flexion rotation test in the physical therapy management of cervicogenic headaches

Jean-Philippe Paquin et al.

Summary: The Cervical Flexion-Rotation Test (CFRT) is widely used in the assessment of upper cervical spine mobility impairments and in the diagnosis of cervicogenic headache (CGH) by physiotherapist. However, there are methodological issues associated with CFRT, including confounding factors that could affect its accuracy and the imperfect gold standard used for validation. The validity of the CFRT is likely biased, but it could still be valuable as a prognostic factor.

Stigma and Migraine: Developing Effective Interventions

Simy K. Parikh et al.

Summary: Current research indicates that discrimination may worsen chronic pain. Stigma significantly impacts various aspects, from the allocation of federal research funds and healthcare resources to individual patients' self-efficacy and self-care abilities. Understanding migraine stigma and implementing effective interventions to reduce it can enhance access to appropriate migraine treatment, improve healthcare providers' ability to care for migraine patients, and aid advocates in challenging discriminatory policies.

Cluster headache epidemiology including pediatric onset, sex, and ICHD criteria: Results from the International Cluster Headache Questionnaire

Larry Schor et al.

Summary: Cluster headaches have a high incidence in pediatric populations, although they are often not diagnosed until adulthood. The distribution of onset between genders in cluster headaches is inverse to that of migraines, and typical migraine features are not effective in distinguishing between cluster headaches and migraines.

Consensus practice guidelines on interventions for cervical spine (facet) joint pain from a multispecialty international working group

Robert W. Hurley et al.

Summary: In conducting research for cervical pain guidelines, the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine and the American Academy of Pain Medicine charged the Cervical Joint Working Group in 2020, ultimately integrating 20 questions with high consensus among the committee. Participating organizations expressed overall support for the guidelines, with 14 questions receiving unanimous approval without any dissensions or abstentions.

Barriers to care in episodic and chronic migraine: Results from the Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes Study

Dawn C. Buse et al.

Summary: This study assessed the rates and factors associated with barriers to good medical outcomes and pharmacologic care in individuals with migraine, finding that many patients did not successfully traverse these barriers. Efforts should focus on increasing consultation and diagnosis rates, improving the delivery of appropriate treatments, and avoiding medication overuse.

Differentiating migraine, cervicogenic headache and asymptomatic individuals based on physical examination findings: a systematic review and meta-analysis

E. Anarte-Lazo et al.

Summary: The flexion-rotation test (FRT) and neck flexion strength can help differentiate cervicogenic headache from migraine. Various physical tests are able to distinguish both headache types from asymptomatic individuals. Further high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: The study conducted a survey on the headache medicine knowledge and needs of members of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, revealing that most providers have some understanding of pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments for migraine prevention but lack knowledge in emergency management guidelines and migraine diagnosis based on currently accepted guidelines.
