Do Aspirin-based tablets or medicines for headache actually 'cure' the headache, or do they merely 'hide' it?

[Rishabh Singla]

By 'hide', I mean that they give a false impression to a person that the headache has been 'cured', whereas in reality the root cause of headache still exists, only that it isn't allowed to be visible to the person (perhaps by affecting the nervous system).

[Truth]

They block the pain impulse to the brain. It still hurts you just don't know it.
