Since the fifth edition of this classic volume was published, a great deal of progress has been made in the study of headache. Much more is known about the mechanisms, neurobiology, and epidemiology of headache. The discovery of serotonin receptors in the brain has led to a new class of drugs for treating headache, and a new international classification of the various types of headache has been published. all this is covered in the sixth edition of Wolff's Headache, for which Donald Dalessio has been joined by Stephen Silberstein as co-editor. New chapters have been written on diagnosis, headache due to abnormal intracranial pressure, and clinical observations. Many of the other chapters have been completely rewritten, and the rest have been thoroughly updated. Author Information Stephen D. Silberstein MD is a Professor and Director of the Headache Center, Jefferson University and Hospital, Philadelphia. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Medical School and completed his residency in neurology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Donald Dalessio MD graduated from Yale Medical College in 1956, Dr. Dalessio served for many years as Chairman of the Medicine Group for the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, where he gained his reputation as one of the nation's prime neurologists, researching and specializing in the treatment of severe migraine headaches. Upon his retirement from active practice, Dr. Dalessio was honored by his colleagues at Scripps by having the Headache Clinic bear his name: The Donald J. Dalessio Headache Center at Scripps Clinic. In addition to his practice, Dr. Dalessio wrote and/or edited multiple editions of Wolff's Headache, the standard text used by doctors throughout the nation and abroad for headache pain.

The book is good, and almost new. But I got charged for 20%, even though I returned it right after I got it.
