title: Linear interictal pain in epicrania fugax: a reply.
abstract: This is a reply to the comments on our article "Linear headache: a recurrent unilateral head pain circumscribed in a line-shaped area" published in JHP 2014 Jun 26; 15:45. In the comments, the authors raise a question whether the linear headache (LH) we reported be a linear interictal pain in epicranial fugax (EF), based on a case they reported. We think that the LH is not a linear interictal pain in EF based on our observations and considerations.
