Pediatric Headaches (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783725866885)

The Special Issue "Pediatric Headaches: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Issues" includes a series of articles written by authors across the world, aiming to update our knowledge on headaches in children and adolescents. The included articles address different clinical and research aspects of pediatric headaches. The first section deals with some basic issues, such as the study of sensory phenomena in primary headaches, the involvement of different specialists in pediatric headaches, and the investigations issues in some clinical scenarios. Following this, the second section addresses some treatment issues, including the role of neuromodulation in pediatric migraine treatment and the management of headache related to shunt over-drainage in pediatric patients surgically treated for hydrocephalus. We hope that this Issue is of relevance to a wide variety of clinicians involved in the management of pediatric headaches (pediatricians, neurologists, child neuropsychiatrists, neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists and other healthcare specialists), as well as trainees (students, residents, and fellows).
