A leading British neuroscientist has been puzzling over the mysteries of headache for years. The result of her work was a fascinating and accessible book about an eternal medical problem - and even with some practical advice. Headaches are nothing new. From time immemorial, people have suffered in her grip. Heated debates about how to avoid or get rid of headaches were already boiling in medieval Persia, where castor oil was considered the most reliable remedy.

It is unlikely that a modern person agrees to perceive his headache as a blessing, but it really can tell a lot. How do you know what she's talking about? What is the point of our pain? Neuroscientist Amanda Ellison talks about sinus pain, migraines, and whether you should just take painkillers, ignoring the causes of what is happening. "Pain in your head" separates facts from speculation, teaches you to control your condition and helps you develop habits that will protect you from this ailment.
