* Why headache is a true biological disease
* Promising new drugs for headache sufferers
* The risks of new headache medications
* The truths and myths about headache remedies
* How to manage the sexual ("Not tonight, dear") headache
* Bizarre headache remedies, such as a hot iron to the forehead
"Headaches" also provides a handy Q&A guide that debunks headache legends, as well as books, websites, support groups, and other resources that monitor fraudulent headache remedies.
