Tension Headache, Migraine.
Has the neurologist/ENT specialist ruled out the possibilities of a migraine problem? Have you been to a psychiatrist? This could be a tension headache or a symptom of depression. Are you mentally fine otherwise? Do you face symptoms like lack of sleep/sleeping too much and still not feeling fresh, fatigue, loss of apetite/too much apetite, feeling sad all the time (not just because of the headache but for matters that concern your personal life)? Did you ever get hurt badly by anything in your forehead?

Something more.
My ENT doctor told me sometimes (very rare) the CT Scan is unable to catch an infection of the sphenoid (by the way, there are four pair of sinuses, maxillary,frontal,ethmoid, and sphenoid) sinus. He told me that he himself has handled a few such cases where the CT scan showed absolutely nothing but when the endoscope was inserted through the patient's nose, surprise! surprise!!, there was pus in the sphenoid sinus!!! When an ENT surgeon performs FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) he inserts an endoscope through the nose. With the help of the endoscope, he can view the conditions of the sinuses. I am not sure if the endoscope can be used at other times (other than during surgery). Ask your doctors (especially ENT) about this. Good Luck!
