Tension headache Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Tension-type headaches can be either episodic or chronic.

In this podcast Mark Green, Professor of Neurology, Anesthesiology and Rehabilitation Medicine, Director of Headache and Pain Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, gives a clinical overview of the condition.

Suicide risk management Mar 04, 2020
