Description
Marina Romozzi and co-authors present a 2026 cohort study of headache that follows flow-diverter stent treatment for unruptured brain aneurysms. This 'post-pipeline headache' is noticed more often now but has lacked agreed rules for diagnosis.
Among 137 patients treated between 2021 and 2025, about one in five developed the headache, split between entirely new pain and worsening of existing pain. The team built a scoring system that matched separate neurologist judgements well, supporting a cut-off of nine points. A wider aneurysm neck predicted the headache on its own, which the authors link to vessel wall remodelling and inflammation. They argue the score can steady diagnosis and advice before treatment.
