Abstract

New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a unique form of chronic daily headache. The distinguishing feature of NDPH is a headache that starts abruptly, and patients can often recall the exact day of headache onset. Clinically, NPDH lacks characteristic features and may resemble migraine or tension-type headache. Diagnosis relies on first eliminating secondary mimics. Several different classes of medications have been used for treatment of NDPH with varying results. In clinical practice, treatment is often chosen based on the headache phenotype. However, most therapies are ineffective or minimally effective thereby making NDPH one of the most refractory types of headache to treat.
