[Headache--differential diagnosis and therapy].
Only few guidelines exist for the therapy of chronic pain syndromes but are available for headache. It is important to know the therapeutic principles and apply them to the patients. The education of a patient suffering from headache is a main factor for a successful therapy. Physician and psychologist together in cooperation with the patient can achieve a better quality of life for the patient. New developments of the medication used for the therapy of chronic headache will result in a better symptom control in the next years.
