Since the creation of the Brazilian Headache Society in 1978, substantial developments have taken place in both research and clinical practice in the field of headache medicine in Brazil. The Society now has almost 300 members throughout the country, actively working to improve the health of the general population and, in particular, diagnose and treat headache disorders. In addition, in a few large cities, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Ribeirão Preto, Curitiba, and Porto Alegre, headache specialists have come together to promote research projects and increase knowledge in the field through MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral programs. Furthermore, scientific journals have emerged and books have been published to record and disseminate Brazilian scientific production in headache medicine. In this narrative review, we will briefly describe some important aspects of headache medicine in Brazil from prehistoric times to the present day, discuss the origin of headache medicine as a specialty in Brazil, the principal publications dealing with headache disorders, the use of plants and other unconventional forms of treatment used by faith healers, the main training centers, and the research produced to date by Brazilians. In conclusion, in recent years enormous progress has been made in headache medicine in Brazil stimulating us to review and expand our role in an increasingly international scenario.

Paroxysmal hemicrania is experienced as headache attacks with pain and accompanying symptoms similar to those of cluster headaches. Attacks are, however of shorter duration, occur more frequently, affect predominantly women and respond reliably to indomethacin. Paroxysmal hemicrania can also occur secondary to an identifiable cause. To exclude symptomatic, paroxysmal hemicrania, especially with an atypical clinical picture and poor response to indomethacin, a careful diagnostic approach is necessary. The SUNCT syndrome (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing) is characterized by one-sided pain attacks of short duration, much shorter than other trigeminal autonomic cephalgias. Classically, the pain is accompanied by ipsilateral lacrimation and conjunctival injection. Some patients have been described with both cluster headache and trigeminal neuralgia. These patients should receive both diagnoses. It is important to differentiate these headache entities as specific therapy is needed for each to achieve optimal pain relief.
