Chronic daily headache (CDH) is a heterogenic group including both primary and secondary headache (BH) caused by various organic reasons. Primary CDH is caused by chronification of migraine, tension BH or cluster headache. It is often associated with overuse of analgetics or other acute medications, with depression and anxiety. The treatment depends on the underlying type of BH and present complications. More serious cases require hospitalisation.

Keywords: headache, chronic daily headache, medication abuse, triptans, analgetics, ergotamin, depression
