Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #2887 Aspirin
Instructions
Aspirin, either by itself or in a combined formulation, effectively treats certain types of a headache, but its efficacy may be questionable for others. Secondary headaches, meaning those caused by another disorder or trauma, should be promptly treated by a medical provider. Among primary headaches, the International Classification of Headache Disorders distinguishes between tension headache (the most common), migraine, and cluster headache. Aspirin or other over-the-counter analgesics are widely recognised as effective for the treatment of tension headache.

Aspirin, especially as a component of an aspirin/paracetamol/caffeine combination, is considered first-line therapy in the treatment of migraine, and comparable to lower doses of sumatriptan. It is most effective at stopping migraines when they are a first beginning.
