Interestingly, caffeine is also an ingredient in many of the most frequently used prescription headache medications. In independent studies of patients with tension-type headache, the combination of acetaminophen, aspirin and therapeutically active caffeine was shown to provide superior pain relief over acetaminophen alone.
