    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Headache Medicine

    Background:

    • Cervicogenic headache (CH) is a distinct headache syndrome.
    • Differentiating CH from other unilateral headaches requires thorough clinical evaluation.
    • CH can frequently co-occur with other headache disorders, complicating diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the prevalence of cervicogenic headache.
    • To investigate the frequency of CH in combination with other headache types.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 5520 headache patient records.
    • Clinical diagnosis based on history and neurological examination.

    Main Results:

    • Cervicogenic headache (CH) was diagnosed in 13.8% of patients (763 cases).
    • A significant proportion (430 patients) experienced CH concurrently with other headache types.

    Conclusions:

    • Cervicogenic headache is a prevalent condition within a headache patient population.
    • The frequent comorbidity of CH with other headaches presents diagnostic challenges.
