It's a very rare form of headaches, mainly hits men in middle age, most people who have them have periodic clusters that can last weeks or months - untreated you can get 4-6 a day, treated it's most likely you get one a day, in the middle of the night at the same time every night. They're also called "suicide" headaches, because even though they usually only last about half an hour, the pain is so bad more than 50% of people who have them have said they've thought about killing themselves because of the pain - many people who have them bang their heads against walls during the attack.
