Treatment outcomes in new daily persistent headache in children and adolescents.
BackgroundNew daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a primary headache disorder that often presents in adolescence. Presently, there is no effective treatment for NDPH and a paucity of clinical trials exploring therapeutic options. In this study, we explored the relative benefit of currently used trea…
Pediatric New Daily Persistent Headache: Integrating Novel Research Methods to Support and Delineate Evolving Clinical Phenotypes.
Pediatric new daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a clinically defined headache subtype that remains controversial due to a lack of unique and objective mechanistic features. For many headache subtypes, different, and sometimes unique, patterns of structural and functional changes can be observed in…
