Medical Training AIHeadache Medicine Study Track
Work through headache classification and treatment so you can confidently distinguish primary from secondary headache disorders and select appropriate acute and preventive therapy.
What this track covers
This track covers ICHD-3 classification, red flags requiring neuroimaging, and management of migraine, tension-type headache, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. It also addresses CGRP-pathway therapies, medication overuse headache, and procedural options such as nerve blocks and neuromodulation.
What you will practice
- Differentiate primary from secondary headache using ICHD-3 criteria
- Recognize red-flag features that warrant urgent imaging or referral
- Select acute versus preventive therapy for migraine
- Evaluate patient fit for CGRP-pathway therapies and switching strategies
- Identify medication overuse headache and plan a detoxification approach
Simulator scenario
A timed case of a patient with escalating headache frequency and frequent triptan use, testing recognition of medication overuse headache and next-step management.
Board question topics
- ICHD-3 headache classification
- Red flags and imaging indications in headache
- CGRP-pathway therapy selection
- Cluster headache and TAC management
