Excerpt: Cluster headache, nicknamed "suicide headache", is a neurological disease that involves, as its most prominent feature, an immense degree of pain. "Cluster" refers to the tendency of these headaches to occur periodically, with active periods interrupted by spontaneous remissions. The cause of the disease is currently unknown. It affects approximately 0.1% of the population, and men are more commonly affected than women. Cluster headaches are excruciating unilateral headaches of extreme intensity. The duration of the common attack ranges from as short as 15 minutes to three hours or more. The onset of an attack is rapid, and most often without the preliminary signs that are characteristic of a migraine. However, some sufferers report preliminary sensations of pain in the general area of attack, often referred to as "shadows", that may warn them an attack is imminent. Though the headaches are almost exclusively unilateral, there are some documented as cases of "side-shifting" between cluster periods, or, even rarer, simultaneously (within the same cluster period) bilateral headache. Trigeminal neuralgia can also bring on headaches with similar qualities. However, with Trigeminal neuralgia the pain is mostly located around the "cheek" area and is described as being more lance-like in quality. The pain of cluster headaches is markedly greater than in other headache conditions, including severe migraines; experts have suggested that it may be the most painful condition known to medical science. Female patients have reported it as being more severe than childbirth.

Product Description
In this era of evidence-based medicine, clinicians treat common conditions according to guidelines and protocols derived from the results of randomised clinical trials. This book will help vascular specialists when they have to treat a patient with an unusual condition where they may have no experience and there is little published scientific information. The Joint Vascular Research Group has collected rare vascular conditions in a register for over a decade, and this book reviews the experience, together with the best information from the surgical literature. The authors give a practical guide on the diagnosis and management of rare vascular disorders. This book should be read by everyone who manages patients with vascular disease. ... Read more
