AbstractCervicogenic headache (CEH) with pain radiating from the neck to the forehead is a common finding after whiplash injury. In most whiplash studies, the whiplash headaches are not defined. Post-whiplash CEH typically is a moderate headache with a benign, but often prolonged course. It probably is unilateral and bilateral. Reduced neck mobility does not seem to be as common after whiplash as in chronic CEH in general. Post-whiplash CEH is accompanied by great disability and high use of medication. Although the natural course seems favorable for unilateral CEH during the first postinjury years, some patients will need specific treatment for their headaches. There is a lack of controlled studies to guide practitioners to choose investigations and treatment for chronic CEH.
