Characteristics of headache in vertebral artery dissections
Purpose: A vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is a rare disorder that can masquerade as musculoskeletal head and/or neck pain and requires an urgent medical referral. If the diagnosis is missed or mismanaged it can progress to stroke and death. Headaches are one of the main symptoms of a VAD that precedes ischaemic signs. The aim of this systematic review is to identify the common features of VAD headaches to ascertain if key characteristics can aid differentiation from other less sinister causes of headache with musculoskeletal origin.

My debilitating endometriosis symptoms – Kate ’ s story
Hi, I’m Kate, 39, married with no children. I had always suffered from heavy and painful periods but this had mostly been managed by taking the combined pill.

Pain in young people aged 13 to 17 years with cerebral palsy: cross-sectional, multicentre European study
Conclusions Pain in young people with CP is highly prevalent. Because pain causes immediate distress and is associated with lower subjective well-being and reduced participation, clinicians should routinely assess pain. Clinical interventions to reduce pain should be implemented and evaluated. The efficacy of medical and therapeutic interventions causing pain should be re-examined to establish if their benefit justifies the pain and fear of pain that accompany them.
