ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDer neu aufgetretene tägliche Kopfschmerz (englisch: new daily persistent headache, NDPH) ist 2004 als eigenständiger idiopathischer Kopfschmerz in die International Classification of Headache Disorders aufgenommen worden. Er ist wenig bekannt, obwohl die Prävalenz in etwa der des Clusterkopfschmerzes entspricht. Der Kopfschmerz ist definiert durch seinen plötzlichen Beginn innerhalb eines Tages und das seitdem ununterbrochene Auftreten ohne jegliche Pause. Der Kopfschmerz selbst ist unspezifisch und meistens von mittlerer Intensität. Die Pathophysiologie ist gänzlich unbekannt, obwohl eine postinfektiöse Genese immer wieder postuliert worden ist. Ein weiteres Merkmal ist das sehr schlechte Ansprechen auf sämtliche Therapieverfahren. Die Therapie ist dementsprechend rein empirisch; intravenöse Infusionen mit Lidocain oder Ketamin scheinen die beste, aber nur eine kurz anhaltende Wirksamkeit zu zeigen. Botulinumtoxin ist ebenfalls in einigen Fällen als wirksam beschrieben worden. Orale Therapieversuche scheitern sehr häufig. Wichtig für die Betroffenen ist es vor allem, eine korrekte Diagnose zu erhalten und zu lernen, mit dem Kopfschmerz umzugehen.

Background Headache is as old as human history and has been able to report, and the first descriptions were found in Greece and Mesopotamia. Objective Our objective was to know the date of the first description of ICHD‐3 headaches, with their respective author. Methods We searched for articles that addressed the historical aspects of primary and secondary headaches and painful cranial neuropathies. Results Twenty‐seven different headaches were analyzed according to the occurrence of their first description, with the respective author and country of origin. Conclusions The knowledge of the first description of ICHD‐3 headaches, with their respective author, showed us how and when the different headaches appeared over the years.

“…New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is an idiopathic headache syndrome characterised by the abrupt onset of an unremitting, daily, continuous headache without a history of an escalating headache pattern and not attributable to any other primary or secondary headache disorders. 1 The striking feature of this condition is its abrupt onset. A distinguishing feature of NDPH is that most patients can pinpoint the exact date of onset of symptoms.…”

“…The nature of the headache can be throbbing, pressing or stabbing, and the comorbid symptoms in NDPH patients include nausea, vomiting, photophonophobia, sleep disturbances, blurred vision, neck stiffness and sensory disturbances. 1 3 5 Two clinical subtypes of NDPH exist: a self-limited form which resolves spontaneously without treatment and a refractory, persistent form in which the headaches continue for years. 3 7 As a result, NDPH can continue for years to decades after onset and can be extremely disabling for the patient.…”

ObjectiveTo explore the experiences of patients suffering from new daily persistent headache (NDPH) regarding the diagnostic process, treatment and medical care.DesignA qualitative phenomenological study was conducted.SettingA specialised headache unit at two university hospitals in Spain between February 2017 and December 2018.ParticipantsPatients diagnosed with NDPH according to the International Classification of Headache disorders (third beta edition).MethodsPurposeful sampling was performed. Data were collected using unstructured and semistructured interviews, researchers’ field notes and patients’ drawings. An inductive thematic analysis was used to identify significant emerging themes from interviews, field notes and descriptions of patients’ drawings. Also, Guillemin’s proposal was used to analyse the contents of drawings.ResultsNineteen patients with a mean age of 45.3 were recruited. Four main themes emerged: (1) Seeking a diagnosis, patients visit many doctors without receiving a clear answer and their diagnosis is delayed; (2) Self-medication—minimising pill intake, medication is ineffective, and therefore, some patients discontinue treatment, or are flexible with how they take medication; (3) Trying other non-pharmacological options, many patients turn to other therapies and complementary and/or alternative therapies as a second option, however these are ineffective and (4) Medical care, with two subthemes, referrals and lacking continuity of care, and building the doctor–patient relationship. Patients describe how the referral breaks the continuity of care, and how they identify the traits of a doctor who is approachable and which behaviours the doctor should avoid when caring for patients.ConclusionsAn in-depth knowledge of the beliefs and expectations of patients with NDPH will allow the professional to establish a relationship of trust, which will improve the patients’ knowledge of which therapies are the most appropriate, and to establish expectations based on the relationship with the doctor, and not only on patients’ beliefs.
