Abstract

Headache is always a challenge for the physician because it is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in outpatient pathology. We know that the first challenge is to make the differential diagnosis between the primary headaches (like migraine and tensional type headache), and secondary headaches. However, primary headaches account for almost 90% of consultations, and within these, migraine has currently become one of the greatest challenges for medicine, due to the great deterioration in the patient's quality of life and the associated family, social and labor costs.
