Managing headaches in the workplace.
Headache may not impose a considerable burden upon the resources of the National Health Service, but it does have a significant impact on work attendance, with up to seven million working days being lost per year because of headache-related problems. The author reviews the problem from the perspective of occupational health nurses, and offers a protocol, based on the investigations carried out in practice-attached migraine clinics, which will assist their assessment of affected employees.
