About 80-90% of the headaches people experience are primary headaches, including migraine or tension type headaches. The other 10-20% of headaches are secondary—caused by something else, usually an underlying condition or side effect of medication. Since causes can be as serious as a brain tumor, it’s important to know what is really causing head pain. Learn from Dr. Rebecca Michael as she explains the “red flags” to look out for when it comes to primary and secondary headaches.
The First Contact Headache In Primary Care podcast breaks down topics in headache medicine for primary care providers and other healthcare professionals seeing patients with headache disorders. The goal of the program is to provide educational resources to empower healthcare professionals and improve headache and migraine care for patients.
