Optimistic Research for the Future of Headaches

What research is being done?

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) conducts research relating to headaches at its laboratories at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and supports additional research through grants to major medical institutions across the country.  NINDS also supports and conducts studies to improve the diagnosis of headaches and to find ways to prevent them.

If you suffer from headaches and none of the standard treatments help, do not despair. Some people find that their headaches disappear once they deal with a troubled marriage, pass their certifying board exams, or resolve some other stressful problem. Others find that if they control their psychological reaction to stress, the headaches disappear.

“I had migraines for several years,” says one woman, “and then they went away. I think it was because I lowered my personal goals in life. Today, even though I have 100 things to do at night, I don’t worry about it. I learned to say no.”

For those who cannot say no, or who get headaches anyway, today’s headache research offers hope. The work of scientists around the world promises to improve our understanding of this complex disorder and provide better tools to treat it.
