Headache is a common reason that people come to emergency departments but sorting out who has a serious secondary headache and who has a benign cause is not always easy. Informed by recent international studies of headache in emergency departments, this talk will discuss the causes of headache, high risk features that can inform decision-making about investigation and variation in treatment of benign headache. The focus will then switch to migraine focussing on the ED specific evidence-based for abortive treatments.
