Chronic daily headache
From WikiLectures
It is a relatively common complication of primary headaches , especially tension pain and migraines (in addition to migraine and tension pain, primary headaches are also cluster headaches and headaches during sexual and physical activity ). At various times (1-10 years), between the onset of the classic primary headache, lower-intensity headaches begin to appear, which appear more and more frequently until they later become permanent. The disease loses its original paroxysmal character and classic features.
