- Summary:
- What Do I Do Now? Patients with headache pose many clinical challenges and even experienced clinicians occasionally arrive at the point where diagnostic, work-up, treatment, or prognostic thinking becomes blocked.
- In short, we all find ourselves from time to time in an exam room or at the bedside scratching our heads in puzzlement, wondering "what do I do now?" Headache and Facial Pain serves the need for a quick reference tool for these difficult headache clinical questions.
- Nationally known headache specialists, Dr. Lawrence Newman and Dr. Morris Levin, have simulated the "curbside consultation" in a representative set of 33 "mini-cases" of headache and facial pain. This volume is divided into three sections that cover the typical ground for head/face pain consultation: (1) Diagnostic Questions, (2) Treatment Considerations, and (3) Prognostic, Social, and Legal Issues.
