Not really, the brain has no pain receptors, headaches are in the muscles surrounding your head instead.

As for tips for having a headache? Repeatedly hit your head very hard against the wall, you're guaranteed to get one. /s

And the fact of the brain having no pain receptors was established via a full catalogue of the cells in a person’s brain? Or what?

I don't know, I'm no doctor. But ask any doctor and they will tell you the same.
