Abstract:
A systematic case history is the primary diagnostic tool for headache problems. An acute ("thunderclap") headache or progressive subacute headache may have sinister implications and warrants urgent investigation. Common recurrent headaches (tension-type, migraine and cluster headaches) are not life-threatening but can destroy the enjoyment of life. Specific medications are available for acute treatment and prophylaxis for most types of recurrent headache. General practitioners should be well informed about management, as they are the most appropriate people to deal with most headache patients.
