AB Headache  is  one  of  the  most  common  complaints  among  patients  presenting  to  an  outpatient  practice.  Once  secondary  causes  of  headache  are  excluded  and  a  primary  headache  diagnosis  has  been  established,  selecting  appropriate  pharmacotherapy  can  be  a  very  complex  process.  Medications  must  be  tailored  to  each  patient's  unique  combination  of  comorbidities  and  lifestyle  considerations.  In  this  chapter,  treatment  strategies  for  some  of  the  more  common  primary  headache  disorders  are  reviewed.  This  discussion  will  focus  on  migraine,  tension-type  headache  (TTH),  and  the  trigeminal  autonomic  cephalalgias  (TACs).  Our  discussion  of  TACs  will  include  cluster  headache,  paroxysmal  hemicrania,  short-lasting  unilateral  neuralgiform  headaches  with  conjunctival  injection  and  tearing  or  autonomic  features  (SUNCT/SUNA),  and  hemicrania  continua.
