title: Effective management of ice pick pains, SUNCT, and episodic and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania.
abstract: Idiopathic stabbing headaches, the SUNCT syndrome, and the paroxysmal hemicranias are a group of primary headache disorders that are characterized by brief, short-lived attacks of head pain, which recur multiple times throughout the day. These syndromes are much less prevalent than other types of primary headaches such as migraine and tension-type headaches but are significantly more disabling. Recognition of these uncommon disorders is important because their management differs from standard headache therapies.
