Although headaches in elderly patients are usually benign, they are common and some can be life-threatening. Precise diagnosis is imperative for optimum pain management and early detection of underlying organic disorders. Dr Ruoff discusses the primary types of benign headache, current diagnostic criteria, and appropriate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies. Organic causes of headache are also discussed.
