If youre one of the 50 to 70 million Americans who have recurring headaches, youve probably learned how frustrating the search for effective treatment can be. Recurring headache may be the most common reason for seeking medical care. But as common as the condition is, it is still in many respects a mystery. Researchers arent exactly sure what causes headaches or which people are more susceptible, though they believe a biological predisposition may be responsible and that overuse of pain-relievers and caffeine can make them worse. Likewise, doctors cant always tell what kind of headache an individual has and therefore what kind of medicine would be best.
Specialists also deal with posttraumatic headache and disease-related headache.
