Abstract

Purpose of Review

We explore the anatomy of the central and peripheral autonomic pathways involved in primary headache as well as the mechanisms for secondary headache associated with disorders of the autonomic nervous system. The prevalence and clinical presentation of cranial and systemic autonomic symptoms in these conditions will be discussed, with a focus on recent studies.

Recent Findings

Several small studies have utilized the relationship between headache and the autonomic nervous system to identify potential biomarkers to aid in diagnosis of migraine and cluster headache. Headache in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) has also been further characterized, particularly in its association with orthostatic headache and spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH).

Summary

This review examines the pathophysiology of primary and secondary headache disorders in the context of the autonomic nervous system. Mechanisms of headache associated with systemic autonomic disorders are also reviewed.
