Summary
New daily persistent headache (NDPH) research shows it is a syndrome with diverse mechanisms, often presenting as migrainous headache. Effective treatments require a deeper understanding of its complex origins.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Headache Medicine
Background:
- The diagnostic criteria for new daily persistent headache (NDPH) were revised in 2013.
- Recent research has advanced the understanding of NDPH's complexity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent progress in new daily persistent headache (NDPH) research.
- To synthesize findings on NDPH triggers, mechanisms, phenotypes, and treatments.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of recent clinical studies and research on NDPH.
- Analysis of reported triggers, associated pathologies, and diagnostic findings.
Main Results:
- NDPH is increasingly viewed as a syndrome with multiple underlying mechanisms.
- Migrainous headache remains the predominant phenotype, aligning with revised criteria.
- Diagnostic workup typically excludes secondary causes; effective treatments are still under investigation.
Conclusions:
- NDPH likely involves synergistic cranial and systemic mechanisms.
- Further research into disease mechanisms is crucial for developing effective NDPH treatments.
