Abstract

Compared with migraine and tension-type headache, trigeminal autonomic cephalgias (TAC) are rare, but the resulting significant impairment and the not irrelevant prevalence (e. g., cluster headache 0.1%) make TACs important diagnoses. Unfortunately, the correct diagnosis is often delayed. This article provides an overview of the diagnostic approach and therapeutic options in TACs.
