METHODS: Young neurologists with an interest and experience in headache were invited to draft a series of practical guidelines in collaboration with GECSEN\'s Executive Committee. For practical reasons, the document was divided into 2 articles: the first focuses on primary headaches and craniofacial neuralgias and this second article on secondary headaches and other craniofacial pain. In order for the recommendations to be helpful for daily practice, they follow a practical approach, with tables summarising referral criteria, examinations to be performed, and referral to other specialists.
CONCLUSIONS: We hope to offer a guide and tools to improve decision-making regarding patients with headache, identifying complementary tests to prioritise and referral pathways to be followed, in order to avoid duplicated consultations and delayed diagnosis and treatment.
方法:邀请对头痛有兴趣和经验的年轻神经科医师与GECSEN执行委员会合作起草一系列实用指南。出于实际原因,该文件分为两篇:第一篇侧重于原发性头痛和颅面神经痛,第二篇侧重于继发性头痛和其他颅面疼痛。为了使建议对日常练习有所帮助,他们遵循实用的方法,带有总结推荐标准的表格,要进行的考试,并推荐给其他专家。
结论:我们希望提供一个指南和工具来改善头痛患者的决策,确定互补测试的优先级和转诊途径要遵循,以避免重复咨询和延误诊断和治疗。
