“…Continuous headache is not acknowledged in primary migraine; the other primary headaches that are continuous include tension type headache and HC. New Daily Persistent Headache is defined by its continuous pattern from the onset, but controversy exists about whether it is a true primary disorder or a collection of secondary headaches without singular cause . Reports of PTH have included continuous headache at various prevalence …”

Persistent post-traumatic headache is most likely to present with continuous pain. Migraine is the most common primary diagnosis type. The presence of a continuous headache was strongly associated with negative occupational outcomes. Primary headache diagnosis type was not. Headache characteristics, therefore, may be more important than diagnosis type when determining active duty status. Further prospective research is indicated.

“…In ICHD-2 they were entirely comparable to those for CTTH: the two headache types were considered having the same clinical features, the only difference being NDPH's chronic, continuous character from the start. In light of recent literature findings [4] indicating the possibility that NDPH may also have migraine-like features, ICHD-3 beta refrains from any categorization of its clinical features.…”

The International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (beta version) has significantly improved the categorization of chronic headaches. From a clinical standpoint, however, it still has a few limitations, both general and specific. Among the former is the fact that international headache classifications are aimed less at defining the disease than at characterizing the features of attacks, meaning that their structure is ill suited to dealing with chronic headaches where the patient must be the focus of the discussion. Among the latter is the fact that the diagnostic criteria for chronic migraine do not distinguish between cases differing widely in severity and that the issue of whether medication overuse headache can be considered an autonomous entity is still unsolved. We propose that changes be made in the systematizations of chronic migraine and medication overuse headache to make them more consistent with clinical practice.

“…Though such retrospective trigger reporting may be subject to recall bias, it continues to raise the possibility proposed by Dr. Vanast and coworkers decades ago that NDPH in some patients may be a secondary headache related to an immunological response triggered by latent Epstein‐Barr virus reactivation or other microbial pathogens . Many authors have emphasized a thorough exclusion of other headache disorders that may mimic NDPH, particularly spontaneous intracranial hypotension …”

“…18 Many authors have emphasized a thorough exclusion of other headache disorders that may mimic NDPH, particularly spontaneous intracranial hypotension. 15,19,20 NDPH continues to be a vexing problem in neurological and headache practice, and often is associated with treatment refractoriness and a poor prognosis, 8 which is at variance from Dr. Vanast's initial description. 2 The one year population prevalence has been reported to be between 0.03% 21 and 0.1%.…”

New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is an idiopathic headache syndrome characterized by the abrupt onset of an unremitting, daily, continuous headache without an antecedent escalating headache pattern, and not attributable to other primary or secondary headache disorders. We review the history of NDPH in terms of its characterization and classification, and then interview Dr. Walter Vanast, the neurologist who initially described NDPH three decades ago, to gain his perspective now that there is more widespread recognition and interest in this syndrome.
