You've gotten far better answers on this already, but you can use the SpanNotQuery in the SpanQueryParser I maintain and have published to maven central [1][2][3].
This does not carry out any nlp, but this would allow literal "headache (no not)"!~5,0 -> "headache" but not if "no" or "not" shows up within 5 words before.

So, the question is how many tokens after that it affects in its circle of negation? You could probably use something like https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Other+Parsers#OtherParsers-SurroundQueryParser to say (if user said 'headache'). -{!surround} 3w(not, headache) But I am not sure how this would work in terms of multi-term queries. Alternatively, you could transform your input with custom token filter that, after seeing the term 'no', 'not', will just eat that and next n? tokens. Or you could run the sentences through natural language recognition and remove/mark noun phrases that are negative. What I am trying to say is that Solr can do a bunch of different things for you. But you first need to translate your domain problem into a much lower level pseudo-language problem that addresses your needs. Including the edge-cases, which none of us can guess from your description. Then you can implement it in Solr.
