title: [Evoked potentials in patients with secondary headaches].
abstract: Characteristics of brain evoked activity were studied in patients with most frequent variants of secondary headaches: chronic posttraumatic headaches, cervicogenic headaches and vascular headaches in patients with arterial hypertension and chronic brain ischemia. The multimodal registration of evoked potentials (EP) (short-latency brainstem auditory, visual EPs to flash stimulation and cognitive EPs - P300) revealed signs of brainstem dysfunction, decrease of visual analyzer and diminished cognitive functions in most patients with secondary headaches. Based on results obtained, we can recommend a complex therapy of chronic secondary headaches with neuroprotectors and nootropics.
