Is there any treatment which has a 100% headache success?
I have heard and seen people and reports of treatments which have a 100% success for treating headaches, but with so many different headache types and so many different types of patients how is this possible?
It is not possible. Even with one specific type of malady a 100% cure rate would be doubtful, especially in a condition with symptoms which are often subjectively reported such as headache.
There is one specific frequent responder on YA in the pain management section who reports that his facility has a 100% cure rate for headaches. He gives advice such as if you live in a cold climate take a warm bath and if you live in a warm climate take a cold bath. This does not explain the phenomena of people who live in highly advanced countries, and live in well insulated and heated or cooled homes but still suffer from headaches. He also will report that he can cure all headaches with acupuncture. I am a strong believer in acupuncture performed by qualified and trained professionals, but even with well performed acupuncture, I find that a large percentage of the patients I refer for acupuncture do not receive benefit from this form of therapy.
There are only three types of people claiming to provide 100% cure rates for medical conditions: Quacks, Liars and Fools.
Each patient will have their own specific trigger mechanisms for headaches, either migraine or common headaches, and even with a reasonably assured diagnosis, there will be different responses by people to all forms of treatment. It doesn't matter if you prefer homeopathy, naturopathy, eastern or western medicine techniques no one treatment works for everyone.

Unfortunately, no. Headaches come from different causes therefore, each headache requires its own solution.
You have to know what your headache is classified in order to treated properly.
If you have chronic headaches you may have migraines, or you may have something wrong and your brain or the nerves leading to your head causing the pain. Migraines are treated using migraine specific analgesics, resting in a dark quiet room, using meditation/stress relieving techniques. If the nerves leading to your head are impinged then massage, acupuncture, and exercise work better than pain medicine
If you just have an occasional headache it could be caused by stress, therefore the treatment is to reduce stress either through medication, removing the cause of the stress for using nonmedical treatments such as meditation & relaxation techniques. If it's caused by eye strain and then obtaining glasses or getting your current eye prescription updated solves the problem. If the eye strain is caused by staring at a computer all day you need to reposition your monitor to be opposite your eyes, or raise up/adjust your screen so that you're not having to bend at the neck in order to see properly. Again, this works better than medication.
Dental problems can cause headaches… so, obviously treating the tooth problem removes the headache problem. TMJ is a common cause of headaches. TMJ is treated with oral bracing/inserts & short-term treatment is using over-the-counter medication.
These are just a few of the causes of headaches… if you're having recurring headaches on a regular basis needless to say, check with your physician & see about getting the cause diagnosed & treated
Good luck!

Certainly, pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.
