To investigate suicidality related to cluster headache and factors associated with increased suicidality in cluster headache patients. ⋯ Cluster headache attack carries a high suicidality compared to the interictal or between-bouts state. An intensive treatment to reduce cluster headache burden may be helpful to alleviate suicide risk in cluster headache patients.

There is limited research on the association of sleep problems with International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II)-defined headache subtypes in youth, particularly from community-based samples. This cross-sectional study examines the associations of sleep patterns, symptoms and disorders with specific headache subtypes among adolescents from the general population of the United States. ⋯ Pervasive sleep disturbances in adolescents with headache have important implications for the evaluation, treatment and etiology of pediatric headache.

To describe clinical, neuroimaging, and laboratory features of a large cohort of Italian patients with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome. ⋯ Clinical manifestations and putative etiologies of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome in our series are slightly different from those observed in previous cohorts. This variability might be partly related to the coexistence of precipitating conditions with a putative etiologic role on disease occurrence.

Multicenter Study
Prevalence of headache attributed to aeroplane travel in headache outpatient populations: An Italian multicentric survey.
To assess the prevalence of headache attributed to aeroplane travel (AH) in patients referred to Italian Headache Centres. ⋯ AH was found in 4.0% of a multicentre, large sample of patients with flight experiences. Although limited to a sample of patients followed in six Italian headache centres, to the best of our knowledge these are the first epidemiological data on AH gathered by direct interview. If properly investigated, AH seems to be a not infrequent condition, which, when diagnosed, could probably be prevented in many cases.
