چکیده
Chronic daily headache (CDH) is a descriptive term that encompasses multiple headache diagnoses and effects. It refers to a group of headache disorders characterized by a headache occurring on 15 or more days per month for more than 3 months. CDH affects 4% of the adult population in the United States, with similar figures around the world. The burden of CDH is extremely high, with considerable financial impact as well as impact on quality of life. The diagnosis and integrative management of CDH require a knowledge of distinct CDH subcategories and familiarity with conventional treatment regimens.
