Depends on what's causing the headache. Try massage, meditation (including running, tai chi, meditation, yoga, or anything that requires your attention but not your intense concentration) sleep or food (avoide caffeine because it constricts the blood vessels and make it so you can't sleep). If that doesn't work, the cause may be biochemical... see your doc.

You can try accupressure. Using your thumb and index finger squeeze the webbing between the thumb and index finger of your other hand. It works for a while, then you have to keep doing it every time the headache comes back. Hope it works for you.
