    Use nocache_headers to add custom headers to wp-admin pages. Example code:

    add_filter( 'nocache_headers', function() {
    return array(
        'Cache-Control' => 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, some-custom-thing',
        'Pragma'        => 'no-cache',
        'Expires'       => gmdate( 'D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T', time() )
    );
} );
