Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing recurrence of the headache.
Prevention is the best treatment.
Remove or control precipitating factors. Learn and practice stress management strategies. Relaxation through meditation, relaxation exercises, or other means, can be helpful for some people. Other preventive measures may include keeping warm if the headache is associated with cold, using a different pillow or sleeping position, or similar activities. Use good posture when reading, working, or being involved in activities that may cause headache.
