• Non-invasive:
• Head scratcher, scalp massager. There are traditional metallic ones from Chinatown, Kikkerland, and there are some really fancy modern, spa ones, made of soft silicone tips, which I prefer, because I got scratched a couple of times by the metal ones. 
• Drinking water. My personal experience is that over consumption of salt, and dehydration - lack of proper water consumption can cause severe headache for me. I drink water to get better. If it is after a big meal, I drink water with electrolytes so I can get the work done with less water.
• Oxygen canister. It could be a complete placebo effect, but I personally tried those hotel room mini hangover one-use canisters filled with pure oxygen and found those to alleviate headaches.
• Opening the window and let air in. Personally, when I cook things that generate a lot of steam and not opening the window, I get a headache. My oxygen saturation will be below 98% too. I am sensitive. 
• Massaging Hu Kou (Tiger Mouth) pressure point is believed in TCM to relieve headache. Aculief clip seems to be a clever modern device for "clipping" applying pressure on the pressure point. I haven't tried it, but I thought it was a clever design. 
• Massing Feng Chi (Wind Pool) pressure point, where the head and neck is connected, seems to be useful for temp headache relief. I personally like using it when my headache is stress related.
