The purpose of the study is to improve treatment for newly referred patients with migraine and tension-type headache to the Danish Headache Center. All patients will recieve an electronic questionnaire just before the first visit concerning their current and previous history of headache and headache treatment. Half of them will enter a special telephone-intervention (TeII) program with two planned phone-calls after 8 and 16 weeks from first visit. The other half of patients will follow the normal follow-up program. All patients will be seen by a headache specialist after 6 months and will be asked to fill in a follow-up electronic questionnaire.
