  Dr. Amy Goldstein, a pediatric neurologist at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, said the new study "shows that if your child is having chronic daily headaches, even without major intervention, the majority will get better. It may be a difficult year to get through, and for a lot of my patients, they feel like the headache pain is never going to go away, but the message here is that it can get better over time, so continue working with your physician."
  
  If you or your child are experiencing daily headaches, Goldstein said that one of the most helpful things you can do is to keep a headache diary so you and your doctor can pinpoint potential headache triggers that you may need to avoid.
  
  Also, she said, you need to be careful about over-the-counter pain medication use, because while they can initially be helpful, they can cause rebound headaches when used long term. If medications -- prescription or over-the-counter -- don't help, some alternative medicine therapies may be useful, such as massage, acupuncture or biofeedback.
  
  In some cases, people with chronic headaches can benefit from counseling if the headaches stem from stress or anxiety, Goldstein said.

  "Kids in the end still do better than adults," cautions Dr. Amy Goldstein, a pediatric neurologist at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, noting that "it's hard to keep a 2-year-old still," while the elderly may not be as motivated for necessary physical therapy.
  ...
  Too often, children face a significant delay, say Pitetti and Goldstein.Hospitals frequently make stroke a diagnosis of last resort.Parents may not recognize acute stroke symptoms - such as one-sided weakness, loss of speech and, in babies, seizures.
  
  And if your baby seems to favor one side, insist on a neurology exam - it might be an undetected newborn stroke that requires physical therapy, Goldstein adds.
  
  "Moms need to trust their gut instinct," she says.
