[Trigemino-autonomous headaches (TAH)--conservative and interventional options].

Trigemino-autonomous headaches (TAH) are relatively rare, thus physicians are not familiar with the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In terms of their intensity and duration, they differ distinctly from other primary headaches such as migraine or tension-type headache. Nevertheless, patients experience a significant psychosocial burden and therefore economic consequences, i.e. direct and indirect costs. Fast diagnosis and optimised treatment should lead to significant improvements. This article aims to offer advice by detailing appropriate classification systems and guideline-based treatment strategies.
