Abstract
There are new concepts in headache definition and pathophysiologic cha racteristics, but both classification and management remain largely th e responsibility of the principal care physician. Women are particular ly vulnerable for some types of headache. When a woman needs medical h elp she usually turns to her personal physician, who can be expected t o diagnose and successfully treat most headaches.
