[Headache and psyche].
There exists no 'typical' psychogenic headache. But there is no headache without psychogenic component. Preponderance of psychogenesis is given as follows: We find it more in permanent undulating headache than in migraine. There are psychosomatic bridges via vasomotor functions and cervical spine. In the field of triggers, personal biographic psychodynamics, together with the actual situation, play a roll. There is a field of modifiers containing depressivity, expertise-situation and drug abuse. Such psychogenic action on different levels can best be perceived via a multifactorial headache concept. This should lead towards a multidimensional therapy orientated on target symptoms.
