If it feels anything like a cramp in the head... (it's hard to explain)... then a dietary supplement of Magnesium MAY be beneficial. Read up on Magnesium. From what i understand it works with calcium and one of it's roles is to help muscles to relax. This would include the smooth muscles of the blood vessels. Dr Boyd who posts at MGH has put a lot of information there in the headache forum archives.
I hope this helps a little and wish your father an end to the pain.
