[Chronified headache].
Paroxysmal headache of the migraine type as well as permanent undulating headache (which we call cephalea) can lead to chronification, both often mixes within the chronification. Existence of psychogenic factors (in the broader sense) favourises chronification of headache. A self supporting circulus vitiosus may arise, in combination with the cervical column, depressivity, whiplash-injury, chronical over-use of drugs (often not without an iatrogenic component), expertise situations. Therapeutically we emphasise a polypragmasy orientated on target-symptoms. Analgesics and tranquilizers want to be excluded as much as possible. Clearly indicated antidepressant are of great value, physiotherapy and psychotherapy as well. As ultima ratio we administer a neuroleptic sleeping cure.
