Clinical characteristics of headaches attributed to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures

Abstract

Headaches may appear after performing diagnostic and / or therapeutic procedures with close temporal relationship to these events. The objective of this research was to know the clinical characteristics of headache secondary to diagnostic and / or therapeutic procedures. We reviewed secondary headaches according to ICHD-3, and searched for those that arose after performing a diagnostic and / or therapeutic procedure. A total of 11 different diagnoses of headache attributed to diagnostic and / or therapeutic procedures were found. Some secondary headaches are due to diagnostic and / or therapeutic procedures.
