New-onset interictal headache in Persons with epilepsy (PWE): A case-control study.

CONCLUSIONS: New-onset interictal headache is a significant issue in PWE; nonmigrainous headache is more common than the migrainous type. Carbamazepine was not found to have any predilection for new-onset interictal headache compared with other AEDs. A lower frequency of seizures and EEG abnormalities in PWE with headache may suggest that seizures contribute less to the development of headache and may further support the hypothesis that AEDs may be significant contributing factors for the headache.
