Headache Management in IIH

Headache is a common symptom when patients initially develop idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) or intracranial hypertension from a secondary cause. While the headache often improves with intracranial pressure lowering therapies, it becomes a chronic problem and a long-term management challenge in some patients. Patients with refractory pain often have multifactorial headaches requiring approaches addressing the headache phenotype and other comorbidities as well as their intracranial pressure.
