J-A Barré’s historic article “On posterior cervical sympathetic syndrome”: A translation from French

Abstract

Barré’s 1926 report “Sur un syndrome sympathique cervicale postérieure et sa cause fréquente: l’arthrite cervicale” is arguably the first description of what we now call cervicogenic headache. Barré’s contribution to the subject and significant insights, which have stood the test of time, are insufficiently recognised. This article is an English translation of Barré’s French original.
