Among stoners "THC" is often called the "Total Headache Cure". It's not really, but it will help with some symptoms of tension/stress headaches (reduces tension, duh.) and with migraines it would reduce the nausea.

edited to add:

"often" might be an overstatement.

I would suspect that CBD+THC, rather than THC alone, is what's relevant for headaches. CBD (cannabidiol) is anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, and anxiolytic; THC is none of these things.
