Comprehensive Evaluation of Complex Headache

Headache disorders are among the most common neurological complaints, but not all headaches are the same. Conditions such as migraine, chronic migraine, intracranial pressure disorders, and cerebrospinal fluid leaks can present with overlapping symptoms but require very different diagnostic and treatment approaches. Accurate evaluation is essential for effective relief and long-term management.
