It would be a very rare individual indeed who has never suffered a headache at some time in their life so it follows that almost all of us are familiar with the agony of suffering a headache. Sometimes a headache can be relatively mild, something that barely disturbs the normal course of the day whereas at other times, the worst headaches can be totally disabling. For some people, their headache problem is considerably worse than this, as they suffer an extreme form of headaches known as migraine or even the far lesser known cluster (or ‘suicide’) headaches. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by several factors in combination whereas cluster headaches are often described as the worse pain imaginable by sufferers. There is no doubt whatsoever that for someone who is a regular or chronic headache sufferer, the pain goes considerably further than simply being a little uncomfortable.
