What causes Migraine?Is it possible to be in control of it?Mastering Migraine answers these questions, and many more, in the most succinct way. Dr. Adam Harcourt simplifies the understanding of migraine and the 4 most common modifiable factors: Hormonal, Nutritional, Musculoskeletal and Neurological. This 4-Factor concept, along with his novel Bucket Theory aims to keep you from shooting in the dark when it comes to migraine treatment. If you picture the part of your brain that leads to migraine as a bucket, you can imagine that when the bucket overflows from any combination of stressors, migraine occurs. Mastering Migraine aims to help you discover the tools that will reduce these stressors, and at the same time 'make your bucket bigger'. The combination of these two approaches can move you down the spectrum of migraine, from having migraine often, to only having it once in awhile, or not at all. Mastering Migraine aims to help you stay in control of migraine, rather than having migraine control you. Read the book that will change migraine as you know it!

Headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system. They are pandemic and, in many cases, they are recurrent and can accompany the patient for the whole life. These disorders impose a substantial burden on headache sufferers, on their families and on society: the individual impact is measured by the frequency and severity of attacks, while the societal burden is measured in terms of loss of activity at work and school as well as of costs for the health system. As a matter of facts, headaches are ranked in the top ten, and maybe the top five, causes of disability worldwide: they are therefore extraordinarily common. Population-based studies have mostly focused on migraine, which, even if it is the most frequently studied headache disorder, is not the most common . Other types of headache, such as the more prevalent TTH and sub-types of the more disabling chronic daily headache, have so far received less attention and need to be better investigated. This book will provide a useful tool to a wide medical population, who is required specific skills to diagnose and manage these frequent and often disabling disorders .Furthermore, it could also represents a compendium for medical students who are usually introduced to this topic through multidisciplinary university programmes.

Headache is the number one complaint that causes a patient to see a neurologist. Because headaches constitute such a large part of many clinicians practices, the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties created an annually-administered headache subspecialty exam in 2006. Headache Medicine: Questions and Answers is the only question-and-answer book for the new headache subspecialty exam, with more than 500 questions, answers, explanations, and references to help readers self-assess their knowledge and to prepare for the subspecialty exam, as well as the neurology Board examination. Headache Medicine: Questions and Answers covers everything from the basics of epidemiology and co-morbidity, to must-know clinical neurology, to diagnosis and treatment. Board-type review questions are used throughout, each with an answer, a detailed explanation, and one or more references to help direct more in-depth review as desired. Divided into six key sections for targeted topic review, this is the most comprehensive and effective way to prepare for exams. Key features of Headache Medicine include: Board-type question format used to provide familiarity with question types Answers and explanations, which detail not only why the answer is correct, but also why the distracters are wrong. A series of in-depth, multi-question patient management problems that provide a realistic clinical learning experience References with each question for further investigation as desired
