Reviews"This is a welcome addition to the headache books currently available. It is the first devoted to refractory migraine and an important tool for stimulating further research and clinical trials on treatment." --Doody's "This comprehensive book is an invaluable reference for practitioners who care for patients with headache and who seek a detailed understanding of the refractory headache disorders that frequently present to both subspecialty and primary care clinics. Although at first glance, one might suggest that Refractory Migraine: Mechanisms and Management is overly detailed for the nonneurologist, its high-yield tables and clinical pearls rival those from any other text and are appropriate for providers of any specialty." -- Bert B. Vargas, MD, American Academy of Neurology"The book is well written, up to date, and is a valuable guide for clinicians and researchers. Refractory Migraine is a must-have book, providing a taste of a new era in headache management." -- The Lancet, "This is a welcome addition to the headache books currently available.
