Extract

The observations recorded in this paper were made on 72 patients referred to a neurological clinic on account of headache who proved to have no evidence of organic disease and whose symptoms were not migrainous in nature. They were, therefore, suffering from the type of headache described as psychogenic headache, tension headache, stress headache, or common headache.
