Written by eminent surgeon Jim Bartley ,who became interested in facial pain when he realised that many of the patients that he was seeing with sinusitis were actually suffering from tension headache.

It includes explanations of the processing of pain, emotions and pain, migraine, tension headache, the breathing connection, the dental department, the neck, post-traumatic headache and sinusitis pain.

The World Health Organisation listed migraine as one of the top four disabling medical conditions with levels of pain, distress and disability comparable to heart disease, cancer or low back pain.
