...excellent value for money...a must for all those professing an interest in headache and worth dipping into by all neurologists seeing headache patients (i.e. all neurologists!). (ACNR )
Product Description
The 8th edition of Wolff's Headache and Other Head Pain remains the definitive reference text in the field. Understanding of headache and its management has improved significantly in the 21st century. A new international headache classification has been adopted, knowledge of headache pathophysiology and genetics has advanced, and epidemiologic studies have burgeoned. We have greater insights into the diagnosis and treatment of the secondary headaches. New treatments are available for primary headache disorders, including migraine, cluster, and chronic daily headache, with ongoing clinical trials producing new therapies. This edition incorporates all of these new developments, with all chapters updated and many new contributors added.

This book is very good, one of the best about headaches toward his many editions in the sense it describes all types of common, rare and very rare headaches and head pains that very few physicians have seen and his treatments or managing. As all books of this class it's progressively thick and heavier.
The book perhaps does less stress in the fact that one thing is to fall with a disease, in this case that includes a headache, and another to be an ill person with some symptoms. Headaches abound extraordinarily, occupies entire consults of Neurology only for that, and they are rising in children. Many people I thing suffers headaches and also another types of symptoms as a trait of his personality. Treating or managing these with whole success is almost impossible at less you are capable to change the entire person, and that's truly a very difficult task. This book doesn't solve these problems but it's between the best.

Wolfs headache book
10 Jan 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this book to help understand the frequent and severe headaches that my wife was experiencing. The book is apparently the #1 primer on headaches. Unfortunately, the book was not ideal for our needs. It is really a textbook and not a book designed for the layperson to reference quickly. Because the book is written for the medical professional , it is nearly impossible to understand the medical terms. The book was ordered as "used" and arrived in fair condition, with one corner of the hardback cover bent.
