Two forms of migraine without aura are recognized: episodic (0–14 days per month with headache) and chronic (15 or more days per month with headache; Table 1). Usually, headache is unilateral, in the frontotemporal region, reaches its peak intensity gradually, is moderate to severe, is usually throbbing, and is aggravated by movements. It lasts 4–72 h (untreated or unsuccessfully treated) and can be associated with other symptoms, such as phonophobia, photophobia, nausea, and vomiting. Premonitory symptoms occur in 20–60 % of M.

3 % [2] in the overall population. 5:1. The most common age of onset is the third or fourth decade of life. There are two forms of CH: episodic and chronic CH. About 80 % of CHs are episodic and are characterized by periods with daily or almost daily attacks, up to 8 per day, followed by spontaneous remission. In chronic CH, remission periods are usually absent or last less than 1 month. CH attacks often occur at fixed times of the day and of the night with a typical circadian periodicity. In episodic CH, most of cluster periods occur during spring or autumn.
