We provide comprehensive headache care for Veterans with headache disorders. EDUCATION: HEADACHE DISORDERS Headache disorders are identified as repeated headache episodes and are among the

most common reasons for which people seek medical care. TYPES OF HEADACHES There are two general types of headaches, primary headaches and secondary headaches. A primary headache is when the

headache itself is the main problem and not a symptom of another condition. These types of headaches occur more than once. The most common types of primary headaches are tension, migraine

and cluster headaches. Secondary headaches have an identifiable cause or are a symptom of another condition. Causes of secondary headaches can include, but are not limited to, a head or neck

injury, or certain medications or substances. TRACK YOUR HEADACHES HEADACHE RESOURCES VHA HEADACHE CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE PROGRAM The VA’s Headache Centers of Excellence provide clinical
