Physical therapy for headaches
Discussion
Several physical therapies including spinal joint manipulation/mobilization, soft tissue interventions, therapeutic exercises and needling therapies are proposed to be effective for the management of headaches. Current evidence has shown that the effectiveness of these interventions will depend on proper clinical reasoning since not all interventions are equally effective for all headache pain conditions. For instance, evidence of physical therapy in migraine is more controversial than in TTH, since migraine pathogenesis involves activation of sub-cortical structures and the trigemino-vascular system, whereas pa...

Diet and nutraceutical interventions for headache management: A review of the evidence
Conclusions
CAM is becoming more commonplace in the headache world. Several interventions show promise, but caution needs to be exercised in using these agents given limited safety and efficacy data. In addition, interest in exploring diet interventions in the treatment of primary headaches is emerging. Further research into the efficacy of nutraceutical and diet interventions is warranted.

Pathophysiological targets for non-pharmacological treatment of migraine
Conclusion
We will review here how knowledge of the functional anatomy and physiology of migraine mechanisms holds the key for more specific and effective non-pharmacological treatments. (Source: Cephalalgia)

Familial limb pain and migraine: 8-year follow-up of four generations
Conclusions
This is the first report of dominant familial limb pain temporally associated with migraine headache, starting in adulthood or starting in childhood and continuing into adulthood. A search for a genetic marker is indicated. Limb pain should be included as a childhood periodic syndrome linked to migraine and recognized as part of the migraine spectrum in adults.

CADASIL: MRI may be normal in the fourth decade of life - a case report
Conclusions
When CADASIL is strongly suspected, a normal brain MRI, even in the fourth decade of life, does not rule out the diagnosis and should not discourage the genetic test. (Source: Cephalalgia)

Association of depressive symptoms with allodynia in patients with migraine: A cross-sectional study
Conclusion
Anxious and depressive symptoms are more common in migraineurs with allodynia than in those without allodynia. Further studies are necessary to clarify the relationship between depressive symptoms and allodynia, as well as its therapeutic implications in migraine. (Source: Cephalalgia)

Visual processing in migraine
Conclusion
Increased effects of noise and differences in excitation and inhibition can account for the differences in migraine visual perception. Consolidating existing research and creating a unified, defined theoretical account is needed to better understand the disorder. (Source: Cephalalgia)

Prevalence and characteristics of migraine in CADASIL
Conclusion
MA is observed in almost half of all CADASIL patients. Atypical aura symptoms are reported by more than one in two of them. MA is often inaugural, can remain isolated and is not associated with the severity of the disorder. (Source: Cephalalgia)
