Headache units have come into being to respond to the need to address the treatment of patients with complex headaches in a multidisciplinary manner. Although headaches are one of the most prevalent medical pathologies, it is surprising how little is being done to foster the development of such units. Within the multidisciplinary organisation, the role of the neurologist with adequate training in this field is essential. He or she is the person responsible for receiving, directing, supervising and coordinating the treatment, together with other medical specialties. The basic core of the team should consist of a psychiatrist, psychologist and physiotherapist. Their joint coordinated action generates an objective improvement in the pain over and beyond that achieved with each isolated treatment.
头痛治疗单元应运而生，以满足多学科方式治疗复杂头痛患者的需求。尽管头痛是最常见的医学病症之一，但令人惊讶的是，在促进此类治疗单元的发展方面所做的工作却很少。在多学科组织中，在该领域接受过充分培训的神经科医生的作用至关重要。他或她是负责接收、指导、监督和协调治疗的人，与其他医学专科共同协作。团队的基本核心应包括精神科医生、心理学家和物理治疗师。他们的联合协调行动能使疼痛得到客观改善，这种改善超过了每种单独治疗所取得的效果。
