This study will randomly assign emergency department patients seeking treatment for a headache to one of three groups. The first group will receive standard emergency care as determined by the treating physician, the second group will breathe high flow air by facemask for 15 minutes, and the third group will breathe high flow oxygen by face mask for 15 minutes. The patients will be questioned in the beginning of their treatment and at 2, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes after it's begun about the intensity of their headache and how much relief they are experiencing from their treatment. Concentration of carbon dioxide exhaled by patients will also be recorded at 0, 2, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes. After fifteen minutes, the patients in groups 2 and 3 will continue with standard emergency care, which can include any treatment their physician sees fit. Patients in all three groups will receive a stopwatch in the beginning of their emergency department visit and record the total extent of time their headache will take to resolve.
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a web-based (i.e., internet) treatment approach for providing psychological treatment to reduce pain and improve functioning in children and adolescents with chronic pain.

Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) is an illness affecting about 1,5 % of the general population. It is characterized by chronic headache occurring for at least 15 days a month, by a use of antimigraine drugs during at least 3 months for more than 10 days a month (for ergots, triptans, opiate derivates and combined analgesics) or for more than 15 days a month (for simple analgesics). The chronic headache must have occurred during the period of antimigraine drug abuse and the headache must have returned to its episodical pattern after withdrawal of antimigraine drugs. But, about 50% of the MOH patients will relapse during the first year following the antimigraine drugs withdrawal. The pathophysiology of MOH is still largely unknown, and the role of antimigraine drug abuse in the transformation from migraine through MOH is not fully understood.
