Abstract

<p>Chronic headaches were reviewed and defined as one of the stress-related disorders. Chronic headaches are mostly regarded as a psychosomatic disease, and it is very important to understand the brain mechanism of pain recognition to treat chronic headaches satisfactorily. Chronic headaches have characteristic features which derive from the anatomical condition of the paravertebral myofascial pain syndrome. Also sleep disturbance is another important factor of the headache chronification, which is thought to be connected with REM impairment by stressful life events or irrational cognition. Narrative-based medicine could be as important as evidence-based diagnosis for the appropriate approach to manage chronic headaches.</p>
