PREVIEW

Accurate diagnosis of headache can be challenging when the pain pattern and the source are not immediately recognized. The most common types of headache are primary (ie, migraine, tension-type, and cluster). In addition, many secondary causes of head pain have been identified. Dr Levin reviews the major types of headache as categorized by the International Headache Society and provides a list of red flags that may signal a secondary headache.
