If the headache is caused by secondary causes, the headache can be relieved only after the secondary causes are removed. When a migraine attack occurs, the patient may have a headache that is pulsating or stabbing in nature, and many patients may also have photophobia and tearing in the eyes. Patients with tension headache can also have a headache that is mainly vague or tight headache in nature, accompanied by weakness and poor sleep. Patients are advised to take oral medications such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen to improve the headache, and if necessary, acupuncture treatment can be given by the Chinese medicine department.
