You may call that a cry ing shame because, in the words , of the scientific reviewers, I "headaches is possibly the most i frequent complaint of modern ! man." I Drs. Arnold P. Friedman and ! Theordore J. C. von Storch found that in the last five years science i hadn't added greatly either to or its abilities to cure. But that wasn t due to any lack of try ing. They studied the reports of 117 investigations into causes and how to find and treat causes, in hraKiilf nt fha rv-iolir-ol cnpinlv wider last year's total.

Causes Obscure But a sympton of what? Once you have eliminated the acute illnesses, the flaws in the body structure, and the shocks (such as a sharp knock on the head) which can and do cause head aches, you have' left an assort ment of headaches the causes of which are quite obscure. These fall into two classifica tions migraine and the tension headaches which are, by far, the most common kinds. The review ers found the investigators in general agreement that "the vast majority" of tension headjehes had their origins in the disturb ed but hidden emotions of the victims rather than in their physical bodies. As far the migraines, they said: "Although it is difficult to verify that in many of these patients the primary etiology (cause) is psychogenic (originat ing in the mind) the importance of psychologic factors in the headache problem cannot be min imized." The trouble here is that those psychological factors can be dif ferent from patient to patient. The doctors remarked: "Not all patients with migraine are com pulsive, perfectionistic, or rigid . . . repressed hostility is an extremely common factor among many persons who do not have migraine and may have hyper tension, ulcers . . ." Factors Largely Unconscious In tension headaches, they found "the fundamental psychic factors were largely unconscious, although most patients were aware of their anxiety. As in migraine the most frequently observed conflicts in cases of tension headache were those over hostile impluses.

Although a number of drugs for the treatment of migraines have been tried, they found that most investigators still found ergotamine tartrate the "most useful." But mind - treatment "may be of great value in re ducing the intensity and number of migraine attacks in most pa tients." That is even more true for tension headaches, they added. Red Bank, N.J.
