Is sinus disease the cause of my headaches? An update on sinus disease and headache

Larry Charleston 4th et al. Curr Pain Headache Rep. 2014 Jun.

Abstract

The interplay between head pain caused by sinus disease and primary headaches is complex. Classification of secondary headaches, attributed to disorders of the nose or paranasal sinuses has been recently updated. New treatments including office- based procedures are emerging for patients with chronic sinusitis. This paper briefly reviews sinus disease and headache.
