| Abstract: | In elderly patients, the differential diagnosis of primary headache complicated by clinical characteristics may suggest symptomatic headache. In addition, the frequent presence of chronic comorbidity illness and excessive analgesic use may aggravate a pre-existing headache or give rise to new headache to complicate headache management in elderly patients. This study reviews epidemiologic data, clinical characteristics and treatment options for primary headaches in elderly people. |
