Index.

"Certainly, I was glad of Schoenen's book as a concise package of
the existing evidence on the relationship between migraine and
other disorders." (ACNR, 1 March 2012)

"This excellent and concise book is dedicated to clinicians
involved in the care of patients suffering from migraine ... I
recommend this excellent and concise book not only to clinicians
interested in migraine but also to medical practitioners, residents
in neurology, cardiology, psychiatry, child psychiatry, internal
medicine, anesthesiology, general practitioners, and medical
students as an opportunity to get a better knowledge of the topic."
(J Headache Pain, 1 October 2011)

"In conclusion, this thin volume is well worth its price and is
highly recommended for both general practitioners, adult and
pediatric neurologists, including those beginning their careers and
hone their skills. It provides a practical approach to the
recognition and management of several aspects of migraine that
would be useful for a range of specialties." (Epilepsy &
Behavior, 2011)

"I highly recommend this book and strongly agree with the last
sentence of its preface: "most importantly, we hope that this book
will inform your clinical-decision making and be of value to you,
your patients, and...that it will also be fun reading it". Indeed
it was." (The Lancet Neurology, 1 July 2011)
