Headaches are a common medical problem that physicians frequently encounter in their practice. One of key findings of The Atlas of Headache Disorders prepared by World Health Organization (WHO) is: headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headache (TTH), are among the most prevalent disorders of mankind.
