Abstract
Integrated care builds interdisciplinary networks across the different healthcare sectors. A conjoint effort toward clearly defined treatment goals is crucial for medically effective and economically efficient care. Allowing creativity in the implementation of integrated care triggers competition for more effective ideas and better solutions. Based on a summary of the development of integrated care and the example of the nationwide German headache treatment network, the successful organization and implementation of this cross-sectoral care within pain medicine is illustrated. An interdisciplinary nationwide network of pain therapists working hand in hand across the sectors, both in the outpatient and inpatient setting, and employing modern treatment regimens results in optimal pain relief. The treatment quality is assessed by continuous accompanying research and sustainable cost efficiency in all sectors of healthcare is confirmed through analysis of both direct and indirect costs. The project was started in May 2007. In the meantime, almost all large statutory health insurance providers in Germany have joined this healthcare project. The large treatment network confirms the significant clinical and economic efficiency of pain medicine. It demonstrates that coordinated modern therapy effectively relieves pain, lowers costs sustainably, and reduces sick leave. Patient satisfaction is very high. The healthcare providers may directly participate in treatment success through risk-sharing.

Abstract
Tonabersat is a novel benzopyran derivative that blocks the cortical spreading depression proposed to be associated with migraine attacks. The ability of single oral doses of 15, 25, 40 and 80 mg of tonabersat to relieve the symptoms of moderate to severe migraine was evaluated in 859 migraineurs enrolled in two dose-ranging, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trials, one international and the other North American. In the international study, significantly more patients given tonabersat than given placebo experienced relief of headache pain at 2 h (15 mg, 36.8%; 40 mg, 40.7%), the principal efficacy variable, and at 4 h (40 mg, 63.0%) and complete abolition of headache at 4 h (40 mg, 34.3%). None of the primary or secondary efficacy variables indicated significant differences between tonabersat and placebo in the North American study. Tonabersat was generally well tolerated, with dizziness and nausea the most common side-effects. Serious adverse events were uncommon, and no patient withdrew from either study because of adverse events. These results suggest a possible interplay between tonabersat pharmacokinetics (the relatively long time required to reach maximum plasma concentrations) and patient characteristics (previous triptan exposure) in the management of acute migraine attacks. Based on the pharmacokinetics and actions on cortical spreading depression, tonabersat may have potential value in migraine prophylaxis.

Abstract
The effect of endothelin-1 and its receptors EDNRA and EDNRB in migraine with aura (MA) susceptibility is not established yet. We studied the association between the MA end-diagnosis and three migraine trait components and 32 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) capturing the variation of endothelin genes in 850 Finnish migraine patients and 890 non-migrainous individuals. The SNPs showing evidence of association were further studied in 648 German migraine patients and 651 non-migrainous individuals. No significant association was detected. However, the homozygous minor genotype (5% in cases) of the EDNRA SNP rs2048894 showed nominal association with MA both in the Finnish sample (P = 0.015) and in the pooled sample [odds ratio (OR) 1.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.12-2.32, P = 0.010] when adjusted for gender and sample origin. The trait age of onset < 20 years was also associated with rs2048894 (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.13-2.54, P = 0.011) in the pooled sample. To confirm this finding studies on even larger samples are required.

Abstract
Each individual is entitled to an adequate and sufficient pain therapy. However, only a few studies have examined the peculiarities of pain management in drug-dependent or formerly addicted patients. Any addiction is disadvantageous for a successful pain therapy, since some of the prescribed drugs may themselves cause addiction. Drug-dependent patients are often tolerant to opioids. Additionally, there is a risk of iatrogenic pain becoming chronic due to disregard for already known risk factors and comorbidities. However, a history of addiction should not prevent sufficient pain therapy, especially since there is no risk of addiction when the pain therapy employed is adequate for the pathophysiology involved. There are adequate pain therapies for addicted patients. The best results are achieved by taking into account the physiological and psychological peculiarities of drug-dependent patients. Importantly, this should be combined with a variety of different, optimized, multimodal therapeutic regimes, as well as with an interdisciplinary approach.

Abstract
Headache classification is a dynamic process through clinical testing and re-testing of current and proposed criteria. After publication of the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-II), need arose for revisions in the classification of medication overuse headache and chronic migraine. These changes made apparent a further need for broader revisions to the standard formulation of diagnostic criteria for the secondary headaches. Currently, the fourth criterion makes impossible the definitive diagnosis of a secondary headache until the underlying cause has resolved or been cured or greatly ameliorated by therapy, at which time the headache may no longer be present. Given that the main purpose of diagnostic criteria is to enable a diagnosis at the onset of a disease in order to guide treatment, this is unhelpful in clinical practice. In the present paper we propose maintaining a standard approach to the secondary headaches using a set of four criteria A, B, C and D, but we construct these so that the requirement for resolution or successful treatment is removed. The proposal for general diagnostic criteria for the secondary headaches will be entered into the internet-based version of the appendix of ICHD-II. During 2009 the Classification Committee will apply the general criteria to all the specific types of secondary headaches. These, and other changes, will be included in a revision of the entire classification entitled ICHD-IIR, expected to be published in 2010. ICHD-IIR will be printed and posted on the website and will be the official classification of the International Headache Society. Unfortunately, it will be necessary to translate ICHD-IIR into the many languages of the world, but the good news is that no major changes to the headache classification are then foreseen for the next 10 years. Until the printing of ICHD-IIR, the printed ICHD-II criteria remain in place for all other purposes. We issue a plea to the headache community to use and study these proposed general criteria for the secondary headaches in order to provide more evidence for their utility-before their incorporation in the main body of the classification.

Abstract
Whilst headache disorders belong to the most common health problems of the younger population, the occurrence diminishes with advancing age. However, in individual cases headaches may be especially severe in old age significantly reducing the quality of life. Typical causes of headache in the elderly are giant cell arteritis (arteritis temporalis), cranial neuralgia and hypnic headache. The incidence of intracranial mass lesions also increases with age. In addition to these secondary forms of headache, the typical primary headache disorders migraine, tension headache and cluster headache may also persist in the elderly. In drug treatment of headaches in the elderly, an impairment of renal and/or hepatic function has to be taken in account, as should be the potential multimorbidity of elderly patients.

Abstract
In 2003 the International Headache Society (IHS) published the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders. Diagnostic criteria for no less than 206 separate headache diagnoses are presented in the parts (I) primary headaches, (II) secondary headaches and (III) cranial neuralgia, central and primary facial pain. The headaches are classified according to the etiology in case of the secondary headaches and according to the phenomenology in case of the primary headaches. It is the task of the headache specialist to identify the correct headache diagnose with the smallest effort possible. Both, the differentiation between secondary and primary headaches and the differentiation between the various primary headaches are of equal importance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of acetylsalicylic acid in the treatment of acute migraine attacks by self-medication under daily life conditions when bought in a pharmacy and also the ability of patients to self-diagnose correctly. METHODS A total of 296 patients were recruited from 156 pharmacies and recorded up to 3 migraine attacks. Following an advisory discussion the pharmacists gave a questionnaire to persons who had purchased acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin Migraine) in the pharmacy to treat migraine. A total of 578 questionnaires containing 36 questions about demographic details, headache phenotype, medical history, efficacy over 2 h and tolerability of the preparation were analyzed. RESULTS The IHS criteria (1988) for migraine were identified correctly by 92.7% of the patients. In 66.3% of the attacks, the intensity of the headache was reported as severe. In 60% of the documented attacks, a decrease from severe or moderate to mild or no headache was recorded after medication, and freedom from headache was achieved in 35.8%. The effect was reproducible over 3 migraine attacks. Nausea, photophobia and phonophobia were reduced by 71-86% compared to the baseline level. Side-effects were reported twice as often by the participants in response to closed questions than to open questions (16.6 vs. 8.3%). CONCLUSION A high percentage of migraine patients are capable of diagnosing their condition themselves when they seek advice in a pharmacy. The data on efficacy confirm the results from controlled clinical studies. The same parameters as those used in controlled clinical studies can also be recorded in pharmacy-based observational studies, therefore, the safety and tolerability of the medication can be recorded under real conditions.

Abstract
To replicate a reported association between migraine with aura (MA) and a promoter polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4), we performed a case-control study in a large German sample comprising 472 patients with MA and 506 controls. Neither this polymorphism nor a systematic analysis with single nucleotide polymorphisms capturing the main haplotype diversity of the SLC6A4 locus provided evidence for a contribution of SLC6A4 to the predisposition of complex inherited MA.

Abstract
The treatment of migraine consists of the acute treatment of the migraine attack and prophylactic measures for either pharmacological or non-pharmacological management. Since the retreat of the ergotamines one can only choose between one of the well-established analgesics and one of seven triptans for the treatment of the migraine attack. Although neither a new triptan nor an innovative new application form has been introduced, the year 2006 will be remembered as the year when the first triptan (naratriptan) was released as a prescription-free over-the-counter drug and when the first sumatriptan generics were marketed in Germany. In addition to the beta-blockers metoprolol and propranolol and the calcium antagonist flunarizine two antiepileptic drugs, topiramate and valproic acid, have been rated as first-line prophylactic drugs in Germany. Due to an extensive and successful study program topiramate has been officially approved in Germany.

Abstract
We studied the safety and efficacy of 0 U, 50 U, 100 U, 150 U (five sites), 86 Usub and 100 Usub (three sites) botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA; BOTOX); Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) for the prophylaxis of chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). Three hundred patients (62.3% female; mean age 42.6 years) enrolled. For the primary endpoint, the mean change from baseline in the number of TTH-free days per month, there was no statistically significant difference between placebo and four BoNTA groups, but a significant difference favouring placebo vs. BoNTA 150 was observed (4.5 vs. 2.8 tension headache-free days/month; P = 0.007). All treatment groups improved at day 60. Although efficacy was not demonstrated for the primary endpoint, at day 90, more patients in three BoNTA groups had >or=50% decrease in tension headache days than did placebo (P <or= 0.024). Most treatment-related adverse events were mild or moderate, and transient. BoNTA was safe and well-tolerated in the study.
