Objective ― to analyze the clinical and diagnostic features of cervicogenic headache, as well as primary headaches when they are combined with pain in the neck.

Material and methods. The article presents a review of the literature on cervicogenic headache for the period 2009-2018, confirming the nosological independence of cervicogenic headache.

Results. Diagnosing cervicogenic headache remains difficult for the practicing clinician. Based on literature data and private observations, the main criteria for differential diagnosis of cervicogenic headache are highlighted, which will allow the practitioner to more clearly distinguish cervicogenic headache among secondary as well as primary headaches when they are combined with neck pain.

Key words: migraine, cervicogenic headache, secondary headache, primary headache, occipital nerve neuralgia, treatment.
