title: Headache in Athletes.
abstract: In brief: Headache is a common problem in sports medicine, and headache in athletes may differ in some aspects from headache in nonathletes. This article presents an overview of headache and several case histories of headache problems that might be seen by primary care sports physicians. Most athletes' headaches may be secondary to migraine or muscle tension, or they may be cluster headaches. Sometimes no structural cause can be found. Thorough workups are needed to find the causes whenever possible. The physician should keep in mind the athlete's special concerns, such as staying as active as possible.
