Headaches are a common problem. 54 million people in Germany are affected. Dr. Heinz-Wilhelm Esser meets headache patients. During a visit to the Kiel Pain Clinic, he found out about the causes of migraines and headaches, put himself in the shoes of those affected through an aura simulation, and had it explained to him what happens to the body when headaches occur. A patient with hemicrania continua gives Doc Esser insights into a particularly severe form of the many 367 headache disorders known today.
