Younowknow:
1. Migraines areoneofthemostcommonreasonsforEDvisitsworldwide.Theyaredefinednot onlybytheircharacteristicpainbutby
specificassociatedsymptoms,geneticrisk,andpredispositiontootherdisorders.
2. Whenpatients presentwith headache,early andaccurate diagnosis is crucial,both todistinguishprimaryfrom secondaryheadaches,
andtoinitiateappropriatetreatment.Thelongeraheadachedisordergoeson,theharderitistotreat.
3. Triptans are commonly prescribed medications for acute migraine. Although evidence is limited, we avoid triptans in patients with
significantcardiac andperipheral vascular disease. The newer smallmolecule CGRP antagonistsare another good option for acute
migraine,especiallyinpatientswhocannottaketriptans.
4. Chronicmigraine is toughtotreat.Wehaveahostofpreventiveoptions,allofwhichworkonlysomeofthetime.Thebesttreatment
approachisoftenamultifactorialone:medicationin conjunctionwithlifestyle modification,headachehygiene, andother interventions
suchasbotox.

6. The trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias are defined by unilateral trigeminal-distribution pain associated with ipsilateral autonomic

SoWhatIsaConcussion?
Definition.Youwouldthinktherewouldbeasimpleanswertothisquestion,butthereisconsiderable
disagreement.Probablythesimplestdefinitionistoviewconcussionasalteredmentalstatus,withor
withoutlossofconsciousness,causedbyheadtrauma.Someexpertsaddtheterm“short-lived”before
“alteredmentalstatus”;however,thereisadifferenceofopinionastowhat“short-lived”actuallymeans,

Twoimportantpoints:
1. Concussionisaclinicaldiagnosis,notonemadebyeitherimagingorlaboratorytesting(althoughnewresearchonbiomarkersthatare

2. Thisdefinition—intentionally—doesnotspecifywhetherornotthereislossofconsciousnessaccompanyingthetrauma.
