Atypical presentation and outcome of cervicogenic headache in patients with cervical degenerative disease: A single-center experience

Headache is a major health concern and the most prevalent (66%) pain disorder in the worldwide population [1]. It interferes with quality of life, reduces work productivity and increases health care costs [2]. The International Headache Society has classified and sub-classified headaches based on their characteristics and sources. Thirty-eight percent of all headaches are tension headaches, the most common type. Ten percent of headaches are migraines; three percent are chronic daily headaches; and 2.5 –4.1% are CGH [3].
