Abstract
Headache is a very common complaint in both primary and secondary care. Careful history-taking is the most important tool for diagnosing it. Some types respond well to treatment, others are virtually intractable to standard treatments. Tension-type headache and migraine are the most common types. There can sometimes be a potentially serious underlying cause (symptomatic headache). Clinicians need to be on the lookout for red-flag symptoms.
