Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Headache Medicine

Background:

  • Nummular headache is proposed as a distinct headache disorder in the ICHD-II.
  • It is characterized by chronic pain in a small, circumscribed cranial area.

Observation:

  • The pain is typically mild to moderate in intensity.
  • No underlying structural abnormalities are found in affected individuals.
  • Three specific case studies are presented that align with the proposed diagnostic criteria.

Findings:

  • The reported cases fulfill the ICHD-II proposed criteria (code A13.7.1) for nummular headache.
  • This supports the recognition of nummular headache as a unique clinical entity.

Implications:

  • Further research into nummular headache is warranted.
