A craniotomy is a neurosurgical technique that entails opening a part of the skull to gain access to intracranial pathology. Headaches are frequently encountered after a craniotomy, presenting in over two-thirds of patients who have undergone the procedure. The pain’s severity and duration can vary from person to person. Postcraniotomy headache (PCH) falls under the category of secondary headaches and can present unique challenges in diagnosis and management.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners’ skills in evaluating and managing PCH. Valuable insights will be gained to enable learners to work proficiently with an interprofessional team caring for patients with this condition.
