Continuous education in headaches is a priority for the Portuguese Headache Society. We present a proposal for a Core Curriculum in Headaches for Neurologists and Neurology-trainees, developed based on the ‘Headache Core Curriculum’ of the International Headache Society (IHS), revised in May 2020. This document is not merely a translation of the original but rather a structured adaptation to the national contex...
Correction: J Headache Pain 26, 100 (2025) In this article, the text “on behalf of the European Headache Federation, the Norwegian Centre for Headache Research (NorHead) and Lifting The Burden: the Global Campaign against Headache” has been removed from the author list because it erroneously duplicated text from the article title.
Background: Erenumab-induced medication overuse headache (MOH) remission in participants with chronic migraine (CM) in a prospective, Phase 4, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with an open-label treatment period (OLTP). We present 1-year results from the combined double-blind treatment period (DBTP) and OLTP for the stratified nonopioid cohort. Methods: Participants with CM-MOH were randomized 1:1:1 to subc...
Objective To assess the efect of modeling free water (FW) on the identifcation of white matter (WM) microstructure alterations using difusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) in episodic migraine without aura patients compared with healthy controls. Background Difusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies examining WM in migraine patients previously overlooked the potential infuence of FW partial volume efects. Correc...
Alterations in white matter (WM) microstructure are commonly found in migraine patients. Here, we employ a longitudinal study of episodic migraine without aura using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) to investigate whether such WM microstructure alterations vary through the different phases of the pain cycle. Fourteen patients with episodic migraine without aura related with menstruation were scanned ...
As cefaleias são uma causa significativa de incapacidade a nível global, com a enxaqueca a ocupar o segundo lugar entre as doenças com mais anos vividos com incapacidade. A maioria dos doentes com cefaleias, incluindo enxaqueca, podem e devem ser diagnosticados, tratados e acompanhados eficazmente nos cuidados de saúde primários. Isso não só reduz a incapacidade associada a estas patologias, mas também previne ...
Background: Some individuals with migraine fail to respond adequately to preventive treatments, bearing most of migraine burden. The European Headache Federation (EHF) classifies these individuals into resistant migraine (ResM) or refractory migraine (RefM) according to treatment failures, debilitating headache days, and disease duration. We investigated the evolution of these categories over six months in pati...
Changes in large-scale brain networks have been reported in migraine patients, but it remains unclear how these manifest in the various phases of the migraine cycle. Case-control fMRI studies spanning the entire migraine cycle are lacking, precluding a complete assessment of brain functional connectivity in migraine. Such studies are essential for understanding the inherent changes in the brain of migraine pati...
