Headaches are the most common reason for neurologic consultation. A Danish study found that 16% of all people had migraine headaches in their lifetime and 78% of people had tension headaches. Migraine headaches often are severe enough to be disabling. They are quite common, especially in women, and are a leading cause of lost productivity as well as impacting the social and family lives of those who suffer from them. We have prepared some web pages here dealing with headaches, especially migraines, as well as linkages to web resources on headache.
