Long-term outcomes after reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome

Conclusion
More than half of RCVS patients will continue to have chronic headaches of mild to moderate intensity that are distinct from the "thunderclap" headaches at RCVS onset. The vast majority regain complete functional ability. However, pain and anxiety/depression are frequent, often aggravated by concomitant chronic headaches, and may be associated with lower quality of life.
