COVID19 and Headache: A Primer for Trainees.

CONCLUSIONS: Limited information exists regarding the mechanisms and timing of headache in patients with COVID19, though causes relate to plausible direct viral invasion of the nervous system as well as the cytokine release syndrome. Though headache care in the COVID19 era requires alterations, the improved preventive treatment options now available and evidence for feasibility and safety of telemedicine well positions clinicians to take care of such patients, especially in the COVID19 epicenter of New York City.
