Abstract

Physiotherapy is often of great value in the treatment of vertigo. In patients with a vestibular loss the physiotherapy should be directed towards the enhancement of central compensation. The inflow of different sensory modalities, visual, proprioceptive and vestibular, should be exercised simultaneously for integration. In cases of orthopedic cervical vertigo, physiotherapy should be directed with caution towards the affected vertebral joints. In muscle tension cervical vertigo, the physiotherapist must include ergonomy and psychological factors in the vertigo treatment.

Effective management of ice pick pains, SUNCT, and episodic and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania.

Idiopathic stabbing headaches, the SUNCT syndrome, and the paroxysmal hemicranias are a group of primary headache disorders that are characterized by brief, short-lived attacks of head pain, which recur multiple times throughout the day. These syndromes are much less prevalent than other types of primary headaches such as migraine and tension-type headaches but are significantly more disabling. Recognition of these uncommon disorders is important because their management differs from standard headache therapies.

Analysis of Internet sites for headache.

The Internet is capable of providing an unprecedented amount of information to both physicians and patients interested in headache. To assess the status of headache information on the Internet (as of January 2000), a search for 'headache' was performed using 10 leading Internet search engines. The number of web pages identified ranged from 4419 (WebCrawler) to 506 426 (Northern Light). The 'average' search yielded nearly 150 000 web page listings for 'headache'. The content was then reviewed of the top 10 listed web pages for each search (i.e. a total of 100 page listings). The results demonstrate that, at the present time, Internet-based information on headache is extensive but poorly organized. Editorial review of this potential valuable resource is required in order to maximize its utility in headache education and management.
