I've found an interesting theme in experiments with my very own headaches. When I take coffee at the onset of the headache, the headache stops immediately in its track. However, if I take a pure 100 mg caffeine supplement at the onset of the headache, the same result does not follow and the headache persists. Therefore, I believe there is something else in coffee that helps to stop my headaches, perhaps a vasoconstrictive compound. Any ideas on what this might be?

Thank you for the interesting question, coffee contains many ingredients including Quinic acid that relives headache, while Ethylphenol can induce headache. Also rebound headache can occur

Why we not consider the placebo effect it may be the cause of relieving the headache .
