Cluster headaches and related disorders.
The headache disorders described here are relatively rare, but probably are more common than previously thought. These disorders cause significant pain and disability, so recognition is essential as treatment response differs from that of migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches. Table 4 reviews the important clinical features of these syndromes and contrasts them with cluster headache, the disorder for which they are often confused.
