It brings severe headaches (8)

I believe the answer is:

migraine

(Other definitions for migraine that I've seen before include "misery in capital area" , "Throbbing inside the head" , "Disabling headache" , "problem for the head" , "Severe headache often accompanied by nausea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
