title: Diagnosis and management of headache in the weight-lifting athlete.
abstract: Weight lifters suffer from the same headache syndromes that affect all human beings. They are also susceptible to headache types brought on by their activity. Three headache syndromes, cervicogenic headache, benign exertional headache, and effort-induced migraine headache, appear to be more common in the weight-lifting athlete. This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of these headache syndromes.
