Abstract

Other primary headache includes primary stabbing headache, primary cough headache, primary exertional headache, primary headaches associated with sexual activity, hypnic headache, primary thunderclap headache, hemicrania continua and new daily persistent headache. Compared to migraine and tension type headache, they are less common in incidence and their pathogenesis is also less clearly documented. To diagnose and proper management of primary headahce, first we should exclude the possibility of secondary cause of headache.
