Medication and acupuncture, when performed under a physician's care, have helped many sufferers. Headaches can also be caused by disease of the head, eyes, ears, or teeth, or high blood pressure. The pain from headaches having an organic base is generally different from the usual headache pain. You can help to diagnose your type of headache by describing the headache, as well as by keeping track of each headache's occurrence. Talking about the life stressors which may be an underlying cause of your headache has been found to be helpful in relieving some types of headache pain.
Relaxation training is also helpful and available.
