New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH): Unraveling the Complexities of Diagnosis, Pathophysiology, and Treatment.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThe current article aims to provide an overview of new daily persistent headache (NDPH), with a particular emphasis on its pathophysiology, evaluation, and current treatment options. RECENT
findingsNDPH is an uncommon and heterogeneous condition associated with various comorbidities and is of great significance due to its prolonged duration and high severity. Variable causes and clinical aspects of NDPH may reflect differences in its underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, including genetics, environmental triggers, neuroinflammation, and brain changes. When assessing a patient with NDPH, potential triggers, past medical history, and differential diagnosis should be carefully considered. Non-pharmacological interventions aimed to improve diet, sleep patterns, and reduce consumption of caffeine and alcohol are recommended for all patients. Nerve blockade and nerve stimulation seem to be more efficacious in children than adults. Antiviral medications and neuroinflammation-targeting treatments may be helpful, particularly, when an infectious disease or severe inflammation is suspected. NDPH patients with concurrent affective disorders may benefit from treatment with serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, or benzodiazepines. Cerebrospinal-fluid-lowering medications may be useful for headaches started with a thunderclap or a Valsalva maneuver. Possible treatments for refractory NDPH include intravenous ketamine or lidocaine, onabotulinumtoxinA, and calcitonin gene-related peptide antibodies. Considering the variety of NDPH, it is critical to properly screen patients for correct diagnosis. Proper identification of potential mimics may enable precise therapy opportunities, yet there is no gold standard treatment for NDPH. Further well-designed studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and develop effective treatment strategies for NDPH.
