Progressive superficial siderosis despite complete remission of intracranial hypotension symptoms following epidural patching: Case report
We report a case of a patient with SIH from a ventral spinal CSF leak that was treated with epidural patching and experienced complete resolution of SIH. Four years later SIH symptoms recurred, and brain magnetic resonance imaging unexpectedly showed the interval accumulation of hemosiderin pigmentation on the cerebellum and brainstem during the period when the patient was without symptoms of SIH. This case uniquely demonstrates the progression of superficial siderosis despite the apparent resolution of SIH. Our findings suggest two divergent pathophysiological outcomes from spinal ventral dural tear: (1) CSF loss causing ...

Efficacy of various exercise interventions for migraine treatment: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Very low-quality evidence showed that yoga, high- and moderate-intensity aerobic exercises were the best interventions for reducing migraine frequency and intensity; high- and moderate-intensity aerobic exercises were best for decreasing migraine duration; and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise was best for diminishing disability.PMID:38597252 | DOI:10.1111/head.14696 (Source: Headache)

Pain medication beliefs in individuals with headache
CONCLUSIONS: Subgroups of pain medication beliefs were identified, including two groups of patients with at least some concerns about their medical providers. Beliefs ranged from a lack of concern about using pain medications to worries about scrutiny and harm. It is unclear if poor experiences with pain medications cause these beliefs or if they prevent individuals from effectively utilizing medications. Additionally, more negative beliefs about pain medications were associated with more depressive symptoms.PMID:38581194 | DOI:10.1111/head.14708 (Source: Headache)

Anxiety and depressive symptoms and migraine-related outcomes in children and adolescents
CONCLUSION: Baseline anxiety and depressive symptom levels were not associated with longitudinal migraine outcomes and neither were longitudinal changes in anxiety and depressive symptom levels; this contradicts popular clinical belief that mental health symptoms predict or consistently change in tandem with migraine outcomes.PMID:38581204 | DOI:10.1111/head.14701 (Source: Headache)

OnabotulinumtoxinA as a promising treatment for primary trochlear headache: A retrospective case series
CONCLUSIONS: Our case series presents the first evidence of the potential of BoNTA as a safe and effective treatment option for PRTH. From a clinical standpoint, having a safer alternative is of paramount significance for patients with limited treatment options, such as those with PRTH. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore the long-term efficacy of BoNTA in PRTH management.PMID:38533675 | DOI:10.1111/head.14699 (Source: Headache)
