Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache

Hi my daughter suffers a lot with headaches. She has had her eyes tested and they are fine, she has also been to ophthalmology and has been discharged from them with no concerns. On top of this she has also had an MRI scan which came back without any issues appearing on there. Lastly as well her hair has been cut to see if that helped at all. Sometimes when she get these headaches they are that bad that she can be pulling at her hair and also smacking her own head to try and ease the pain that it is giving her, they also make her wake up in the middle of the night crying her eyes out due to the pain. What else could it possibly be that is making her suffer like this? These headaches she seems to be getting on a weekly basis
