Headaches are a near-universal experience, with a 1-year prevalence of 90% and a lifetime prevalence of 99%. Each year in the United States, 9% of adults see physicians for
headaches and 83% self-medicate. Headaches are one of the most common complaints of patients seen by primary care physicians and account for 20% of out patient visits to
neurologists.

The differential diagnosis of headaches is one of the longest in medicine, with over 300 different types and causes. Although most headaches are of benign (and still

as possible.
