This includes headwear that places pressure on the head — including tight hats, helmets, headbands, wigs and other artificial hair accessories, headphones and goggles.

It is believed to affect about four percent of the population. It is also referred to as "swim goggle headache". These headaches can be brought on by such innocuous sources as wearing a halter top (presses against the neck), earplugs (presses against the jaw and inner ear), or wearing even a tiny hair clip (compresses the scalp). There is no known preventive treatment except to avoid the offending trigger. However, once symptoms arise and the trigger is removed, Triptan-type migraine treatment is effective.
