Review Comparative Study
[Trigeminal autonomic cephalgias: diagnostic and therapeutic implications].
Trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TACs) are primary headache syndromes characterized by severe short-lasting headaches accompanied by ipsilateral facial autonomic symptoms. The group includes cluster headache (CH), paroxysmal hemicrania (PH), and short-lasting neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT). ⋯ The therapeutic strategies, however, differ considerably.
