Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
change in pain
Change in pain measured by visual analogue scale from baseline measurement achieved at min 0. Investigators will use a 100mm visual analogue scale in which 0 represents no pain and 100 mm represents worse pain ever

Secondary Outcome Measures
need for rescue analgesic drug
Patients will be asked in one question if they need any additional analgesic or if they are comfortable enough. If a patients wants additional analgesics, regardless of their pain score measured by Visual analogue scale he/she will be given dexketoprofen
preference of method over standard treatment
Patients will be asked in one question if they will prefer the method of treatment that they received in the study in case they have headache in the future

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Primary headache can be triggered by light or noise. Getting rest in a quiet and dark environment for the treatment of acute headache is recommended for relief of pain during an attack. It is hard to provide this kind of environment in a busy emergency department. We aimed to determine if eye masks and noise reduction head sets are effective in reducing pain scores, fastening pain relief when used together with standard care. We also aimed to see if these methods were preferred over standard care.
