title: [Chronic headache: experiences of 5 years interdisciplinary work].
abstract: Inspired by the work of Bonica (Seattle, USA), the university clinic of Mainz has formed a study-group (existing since 5 years) which deals not only with the problems but also with the interpretation and treatment of chronic pain. Through the interdisciplinary co-work between collegues from different branches, 618 patients afflicted with chronic headache were examined and therapeutic plans were developed. These therapeutic plans have in general proved to be very successful compared to single, limited treatments by the different branches of medicine. Important experiences for the otolaryngologist as well as the general work to the organisation are discovered in detail.
