Headache during landing

I have read about this problem in few articles and it seems to be quite common thing among young men, but also other people. Sometimes during landing I get horrible pain in my forehead, usually above the right eye and it might radiate in whole right side until the neck. Pain is very severe and it usually stops after landing.

There have been some discussion about reasons for this headache and generally the main call was sinuses and pressurisation problems. Last two trips were to Arlanda - Stockholm and I got pain on both times, but when I went back home to Helsinki there was no porblem at all. I have flown many times and I remember only one similar case before these two when I went to Rome 8 years ago. Then I felt huge pain as now.

I just want to ask among flying pilots if you are familiar with this case and if there is any treatment for it.
