AB Among  the  complaints  from  patients  presenting  to  outpatient  practices,  headache  is  one  of  the  most  common.  Even  the  most  experienced  providers  often  have  a  difficult  time  formulating  a  diagnosis  and  effective  treatment  plan.  The  authors  of  this  chapter  evaluate  some  of  the  imperative  concepts  of  headache  diagnosis,  including  headache-specific  history,  physical  examination,  warning  signs  of  secondary  headache  disorders,  and  when  to  contemplate  further  diagnostic  studies.  The  criteria  used  in  making  a  specific  diagnosis  are  located  in  the  International  Headache  Society's  International  Classification  of  Headache  Disorders,  second  edition  (ICHD-2).1
