The Author revives his experiences and reminiscences in the frontline research and everyday clinical practice dealing with what was then called "histaminic cephalalgia" (Horton's headache). In this context, the Author, one of the historical representatives of the School of Florence, reports an outline of the contribution of this pioneering period in order to promote research ideas concerning possible brain involvement in cluster headache (CH) pathogenesis, which is currently accepted worldwide. The recent history of CH has registered remarkable progress in revealing the mystery of this pathology and it is likely that, in the near future, through the development of better education and new treatments, the overall suffering of patients will be further minimised.
作者回顾了他在处理当时被称为“组胺性头痛”(霍顿头痛)的一线研究和日常临床实践中的经历与回忆。在此背景下,作为佛罗伦萨学派的历史代表人物之一,作者报告了这一开创时期的贡献概述,以推动有关丛集性头痛(CH)发病机制中可能涉及大脑的研究思路,目前这一机制已被全球所接受。CH的近代历史在揭示这一病理之谜方面取得了显著进展,并且很可能在不久的将来,通过更好的教育发展和新的治疗方法,患者的总体痛苦将进一步降至最低。
