New daily persistent headache after SARS-CoV- infection: A case series

Abstract

The 2019 Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel respiratory virus which causes Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19). Although the predominant clinical picture of COVID-19 is represented by respiratory symptoms, neurological manifestations are being increasingly recognized. Headache, in particular migraine-like and tension types, has been largely reported in patients suffering from COVID-19 both in the acute and the healing phase of the infection. New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH) is a primary headache characterized by persistent and daily painful symptoms, with pain becoming continuous and non-remitting within 24 h, and lasting more than 3 months.
