The article is devoted to the urgent problem of practical medicine – the treatment of primary cephalgia. The prevalence of chronic tension headache among the population of European countries is extremely high. Primary headaches are on the list of the most common causes of disability in all over the world. At the same time, existing treatment methods are often not able to completely cure this pain syndrome. In this work, the authors conducted a study on a new approach in the treatment of chronic daily headache: a combination of the non-pharmacological approach – stimulation of the trigeminal system using the Cefaly and the medication – the use of Kalmirex myorelaxant. In 61 patients with chronic daily headache, the effectiveness of the proposed approach was shown both in the relief of pain and in positive changes in the psychoemotional status and quality of life of patients.
