Frequent Headaches

Q: What is frequent headaches?

Frequent headaches describes a pattern of headaches occurring regularly — at least several times per week or on the majority of days — representing a significant burden on daily functioning and quality of life. When headaches occur on 15 or more days per month, they meet the clinical threshold for chronic daily headache, which is associated with significant disability. Common underlying patterns include chronic tension-type headache, chronic migraine, medication overuse headache (a major and underrecognised cause, where frequent analgesic use paradoxically perpetuates daily headache through rebound), cervicogenic headache, and hormonal headache patterns in women.
