There are several different types of headaches which can affect a person. While some of these headaches can seem quite similar they are each unique. In order to properly treat a headache you must first know what type of headache it is. This is important because what works for one type of headache may not work for another. The three most common types of headache are migraine, tension and cluster.

Cluster headaches are those which occur frequently or in clusters. This means they may happen on a regular basis for days or weeks at a time. In contrast these clusters may also disappear completely for long periods of time as well. This type of headache is rare and may be treated or prevented by various treatments or medications.
