Headache is one of the most common physical complaints and can be caused by factors like stress, diet, hormones, caffeine withdrawal, and lack of sleep. There are several main types of headaches, including sinus headaches caused by sinus pressure, tension headaches due to tight neck and shoulder muscles, and migraines which often include nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. Diagnosis involves neurological examination, history taking, and sometimes imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. Treatment involves over-the-counter pain relievers, anti-nausea medication, and lifestyle changes to reduce triggers.

Facial pain
Facial pain can be caused by conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, migraines, post-herpetic neuralgia, and temporomandibular arthritis. Trigeminal neuralgia causes sharp, stabbing pain on one side of the face and is often triggered by mundane activities like washing, shaving, or talking. It is commonly treated with medications or microvascular decompression surgery. Post-herpetic neuralgia is nerve pain that develops after a shingles outbreak and is confined to the affected dermatome. Temporomandibular arthritis, also called Costen's syndrome, produces severe aching pain in the jaw worsened by chewing and is linked to dental issues. Diagnosis
Approach to Headaches in Prmary Care
Headache is a common condition encountered by clinicians in general practice and primary care on a daily basis. Although most headaches are mild, some can be severe and debilitating. It is therefore crucial to recognize common symptoms, identify warning signs, and develop an appropriate management plan for headaches.

This document discusses different types of headaches including their causes, symptoms, and treatments. It covers primary headaches like migraines and tension headaches as well as secondary headaches caused by underlying conditions. Migraines are characterized by severe throbbing pain and can include aura. Tension headaches feel like a band around the head. Cluster headaches occur in clusters with severe orbital pain. Temporal arteritis is inflammation of the temporal arteries seen in older adults. Treatment depends on the type but may include medications, relaxation, and lifestyle changes.
HEADACHE
This document discusses different types of headaches. It defines headache and classifies headaches as primary or secondary. The main primary headaches are tension-type headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches. Tension-type headaches are the most common and feel like constant squeezing tightness. Migraines typically affect one side of the head and cause throbbing pain. Cluster headaches cause severe, stabbing pain around the eye and last 15-180 minutes. The document outlines symptoms, causes, diagnostic tests, and treatment for each type of primary headache. Nursing management includes comprehensive assessment, non-pharmacological therapies, avoiding triggers, and educating patients.
Headache
This document provides an overview of headaches including migraine and tension headaches. It begins by defining headaches as pain in the head or neck region that originates from tissues surrounding the skull or brain. Headaches are then classified as either primary, which are benign and recurrent, or secondary, caused by underlying disease. Migraine is described as the most common primary headache, characterized by moderate to severe pulsating pain that worsens with activity and is often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound. Diagnostic criteria for migraine with and without aura are outlined. Tension headaches are also common and involve mild to moderate pressing or tightening pain. Secondary headaches require further evaluation to identify their underlying cause.
Headache : Causes and management
Headache is a common pain condition that has many potential causes. This document discusses the classification, pathophysiology, and management of various headache types. Primary headaches like migraines arise from the disorder itself, while secondary headaches are caused by other conditions. Migraines are the most common primary headache and present with throbbing pain that can be unilateral or bilateral, along with nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia. Cluster headaches are less common but more severe, occurring in clusters with unilateral eye and nasal pain. Tension headaches involve diffuse band-like pain worsened by touch. Treatment depends on the headache type but may include analgesics, triptans, oxygen therapy, or preventive medications.

For evaluation, it recommends taking a thorough history and performing ocular, neurological, and laboratory exams. It describes features that warrant neuroimaging using the "SNOOP" mnemonic. Treatment approaches for migraine and tension-type headaches include acute symptomatic relief as well as prophylactic management. Specific headache syndromes like cluster headache and SUNCT are also outlined. Secondary headaches can result from ocular, orbital, vascular, or intracranial pathology.
Epilepsy, headache and facial pain
Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder characterized by severe, sporadic facial pain caused by malfunction of the trigeminal nerve. The pain is often triggered by simple activities like eating, talking, or brushing teeth. It commonly affects middle-aged or elderly patients and is more frequent in women. While the exact cause is often unknown, trigeminal neuralgia is frequently caused by compression of the trigeminal nerve by blood vessels at the root of the brain. Carbamazepine is usually the first-line treatment, while microvascular decompression surgery may also be considered.
