Abstract

Cephalalgia is a symptom and sometimes a highly preva- lent disease in medicine, often getting the wrong diagnosis or inadequate treatment. To receive a particular headache diagnosis patient must, in many cases, experience a minimum number of attacks. For this reason it is important a good initial assessment of patients to rule out a secondary headache and refer to a specialist timely. However primary headaches are the most common cause of craniofacial pain, especially migraine and tension headaches, which currently have both pharmacological and non-pharmacological evidence for good management.
