However, if you are suffering from a secondary headache, it depends on what condition is causing your headache. Secondary headaches are caused by many different conditions.

    If you suffer from benign headaches you are among 28 million Americans who also have this problem. While there is no universal cure for headaches, they can be prevented or controlled. It is most important first to know what type of headache you suffer from, and then to identify any type of triggers, which may be related, and to eliminated them. Depending on the type of the headache, it may be treated with preventative and/or abortive medications.

    Since headache can be a symptom of countless conditions, there is no simple answer. If a secondary headache is identified and treated, it might be possible to cure the headaches. Most attacks are due to primary headaches, and management, rather than cure, is more realistic.
