Seventy percent of patients having pain in die head can be relieved entirely or improved by treatment of a latent nasal sinus infection. Eighty percent of these are purely nasal sinus headache, and twenty percent are a mixed type headache aggravated by obscure sinus infection. The unimproved patient listed in Tables One and Two include all other types,of headache seen during the four-year period. Table Two shows the improvement in various types of headache brought about by treatment of a coexisting latent sinus infection. The number of instances of neurosis, vertigo, nasopharyngitis, gastric trouble and cough cured or improved by nasal sinus treatment causes me to conclude that these are often symptoms of obscure nasal sinus infections. The fact that many have relapses after reactivations of nasal trouble in no way alters this conclusion.
