The diagnosis of primary stabbing headache is clinical; fixed or migrating stabs without background pain or sensory abnormalities and the absence of features suggestive of other disorders (e.g., cranial autonomic symptoms or signs) can aid in the diagnosis of primary stabbing headache. The clinical patterns include monophasic, intermittent, and chronic primary stabbing headache, of which the first two are considered typical. The pathophysiology of primary stabbing headache has not yet been elucidated. In this review, we postulated the mechanism of stabbing headache, based on the pain phenotype and clinical course, and provide a clinical algorithm for the differential diagnosis of primary stabbing headache.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Knowledge about the typical manifestations and clinical patterns of primary stabbing headache will aid in the proper diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
