HEADACHES AND ITS TYPES
Manual therapy
BY USMAN FAROOQ
Definition
 The term cervicogenic headache was first introduced by
Sjaastad et al.(1983).
 The definition of cervicogenic headache is described as
‘‘Referred pain perceived in any region of the head caused by
a primary nociceptive source in the musculoskeletal tissues
innervated by the cervical nerves.’’ (Alix,1999)
 Sources of this pain lie in the structures innervated by the
C1-C3 spinal nerves and include the : (Bogduk , 2001)
upper cervical synovial joints, ligaments
muscles of the sub-cranial spine
discogenic (C2-C3) pain-sensitive dura matter
DEFINITION
 A Headache or Cephalalgia is pain anywhere in the head
or neck .
• It is one of the most common locations of pain in the
body with many causes.
• Its the most common symptom of a number of different
conditions
MECHANISM
 The brain itself is insensitive but some intra cranial
structures have receptors for pain. These are:
• The major venous sinuses
• The arteries round the base of the brain
• The meningeal arteries and
• The dura of anterior & posterior fossae (not the
middle fossa)
• All the extra cranial tissues are pain sensitive.
MECHANISM
 The most important mechanism underlying
headaches are:
1. Vasodilatation
2. Traction on intra cranial structures
3. Inflammation
4. Muscles spasm
5. Referred pain and
6. Psychogenic headache
1. Vascular Headache
 For the vascular headache dilatation of intra cranial
vessels is responsible for headache
 Abrupt elevation of blood pressure may cause headache.
 Vascular headache is typically throbbing in nature.
 The headache of migraine and chronic hypertension on the other hand is due to
dilatation of extra cranial arteries.
2. Traction on Intracranial Structures
• In addition to distension, traction on the great vessels and dura
at the base of the brain causes headache.
• Pain is momentarily increased by sudden movement of the
head.
• Sometimes pain of this nature indicates the localisation of the
cerebral tumour.
• The value of headache as a localising sign is reduced by the
fact that the pain may be referred to another part of the head
but if unilateral it does help to indicate the side of the tumour.
3. Headache due to Inflammation
• Meningeal irritation due to:
1 - Meningitis
2 -Haemorrhage or
3 -other cause
• Produces generalised headache which is increased by head
movement, coughing or straining.
• Involvement of the roots of the cranial nerves contributes to
headache by causing spasm of occipital and nuchal muscles.
.............
• Neck rigidity is an important sign of meningeal inflammation.
• Extra cranial inflammation usually causes more localised headache.
• Cranial arteritis is also characterised by localised throbbing pain in the head,
sometimes associated with arteritis in the other parts of the body.
4. Headache due to Muscle Spasm
• This is one of the most common mechanisms of headache.
• Intensity vary from a feeling of tightness to a true aching pain.
• It may be unilateral but is usually bilateral.
• Nodular areas and points of tenderness may be palpable in the painful
muscles or along the occipital and supra orbital ridges.
.........
 Secondary muscle spasm may contribute to a prolonged
pain referred from other structures.
 It may also be caused by irritation of cervical nerve roots
by cervical spondylosis .
5. Referred Headache
• Disease of structures in the head may cause pain referred to the cranium.
• Eye disease such as glaucoma and iritis causes frontal headache.
• Ciliary spasm induced by some errors of refraction may cause pain
• Nasal and sinus disease causes pain in the molar, nasal and frontal areas.
• Dental, aural and temporo-mandibular joint diseases may cause pain
spreading far beyond the area of primary pain.
• Pain may even be referred to the head in angina pectoris.
6. Psychogenic Headache
• By far the most common cause of headache is emotional upset.
• It is often vascular or tension type but There is usually an underlying
personality defect.
• It is often a sense of pressure at the vertex or a tight band round the head,
constant day and night, and completely resistant to analgesic drugs.
HEADACHE CLASSIFICATION
 The INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF HEADACHE
DISORDER(ICHD) is an in-depth Hierarchical classification
of headaches published by the International Headache
Society.
 Headaches are classified as :
 1-primary headaches
 2-secondary headaches
PRIMARY HEADACHES
 Primary headaches are those that exist independent from any other medical
condition.
PRIMARY HEADACHES
 INCLUDES MAINLY:
 Migraines
 Tension type headaches
 Cluster headaches
 Also, according to the same classification, stabbing headaches and
headaches due to cough , exertion and sexual activity (coital cephalalgia) are
classified as primary headaches
SECONDARY HEADACHES
 Secondary headaches are classified based on their etiology and not on their
symptoms.
 occur due to an underlying structure problem in the head or neck.
Part 2:
The secondary headaches
©International Headache Society 2003/4ICHD-II. Cephalalgia 2004; 24 (Suppl 1)
Part 2:
The secondary headaches
5. Headache attributed to head and/or neck trauma
6. Headache attributed to cranial or cervical vascular
disorder
7. Headache attributed to non-vascular intracranial
disorder
8. Headache attributed to a substance or its withdrawal
9. Headache attributed to infection
10. Headache attributed to disorder of homoeostasis
11. Headache or facial pain attributed to disorder of
cranium, neck, eyes, ears, nose, sinuses, teeth, mouth
or other facial or cranial structures
12. Headache attributed to psychiatric disorder
.......
 The ICHD classification puts cranial neuralgias and other
types of neuralgia in a different category.
 According to this system, there are 19 types of
neuralgias and headaches due to different central causes
of facial pain.
NIH CLASSIFICATION
 It outlines five types of headache:
1-vascular
2-myogenic (muscle tension)
3-cervicogenic
4-traction
5-and inflammatory.
VASCULAR
 The most common type of vascular headache is
migraine.
 After migraine, the most common type of vascular
headache is the "toxic" headache produced by fever.
 Other kinds of vascular headaches include cluster
headaches,
MUSCULAR /MYOGENIC
 When strained or irritated neck muscles cause the pain, the headaches are
myogenic.
 (When dysfunctional or irritated spinal joints cause
the pain, the headaches are vertebrogenic.)
 Caused by trauma to the head and neck from injuries such as :
-Whiplash
-poor posture
- occupational or recreational stresses ( extended phone use and other
activities that keep the neck in awkward positions for prolonged periods).
.......
 mild to severe discomfort or pain
 Unilateral/sometimes bilateral
 starts in the involved muscles and spread to the temples
and possibly a combination of the ears, eyes and top of
the head.
..........
 Aggravated by awkward or uncomfortable postures and
certain neck movements, like turning or bending your
neck can make the pain worse.
 The muscles around your neck may also be tight and
abnormally tender.
 Limited ROM.
CERVICOGENIC
 Cervicogenic headache is a syndrome characterized by
chronic hemicranial pain that is referred to the head from
either bony structures or soft tissues of the neck.
 Occurrence among females is twice that of males
.......
 Headaches are unilateral dominanat side headache
associated with neck pain and aggrevated by neck
movements.
 Movement stresses of the cervical spine are associated
with the headache complaint (e.g headache is worse at
the end of a day’s work at the computer screen or talking
on phone)
Cervicogenic Headache Diagnosis
Subjective Location of Pain Starts neck, occipital
Ipsilateral, vague, nonradicular neck/shoulder/arm
Occasional radicular symptoms
Forehead, temporal, whole, frontal, orbital
Pain Characteristics Unilateral without sideshift or Bilateral
Moderate-severe
Non-throbbing/ dull, aching
Non-lancinating
Becomes more continuous
Varying duration
Pain Increases With Neck movement
Posture
Awkward head positioning
Pressure over ipsilateral cervical/occipital area
Objective Cervical ROM Decreased PROM
Palpable Findings Tender neck muscles
Change in neck muscle properties
Pain on C2/3 facet palpation and dermatome
Response to Blockade Occipital nerves, facets, or nerve roots abolish or relieve pain

Congenital anomaly
Tumor/rheumatoid arthritis, not spondylosis
Neck Trauma Possible
Other Nausea, vomiting
Edema, flushing
Dizziness
Phono/photophobia
Blurred vision
Dysphagia
No effect with indomethacin, ergotamine, or sumatripan
Traction/inflammatory
 Traction and inflammatory headaches are symptoms of other disorders,
ranging from stroke to sinus infection. Specific types of headaches include:
 Tension headache
 Migraine
 Cluster headache
 "Brain freeze" (also known as: ice cream headache)
 Thunderclap headache
 Vascular headache
 Toxic headache
........
 Coital cephalalgia (also known as: sex headache)
 Rebound headache (also called medication overuse headache, abbreviated
MOH)
 "Spinal headache" (or: post-dural puncture headaches)
 Withdrawal (caused by medication or other dependency creating substance
removal/cessation)
Some common headaches
Tension headache
 It is the most common type of primary headache.
 About 90% adults have this type of headache.
 Tension headache occur more frequently in females
than males.
 The pain can radiate from the lower back of the head,
the neck, eyes, or other muscle groups in the body.
......
 CAUSES:
 Stress: (after long stressful work hours or after an exam)
 Sleep deprivation
 Uncomfortable stressful position and/or bad posture
 Irregular meal time (hunger)
 Eyestrain
.......
 Signs and symptoms
 Constant pressure,(squeezing).
 Bilateral
 Typically mild to moderate, but may be severe.
 Frequency and duration
 can be episodic or chronic
 Episodic TTH occurrs fewer than 15 days a month
 chronic TTH occurs 15 days or more a month for at least 6 months.

Tension-type headaches can last from minutes to days, months
or even years, though a typical tension headache lasts 4–6
hours.
Migraine
 It is the second common type of primary headache .
 Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by
recurrent moderate to severe headaches often in association with a
number of autonomic nervous system symptoms.
 It affects both children and adults. Before puberty boys and girls are
equally affected by migraine headache but after puberty females are
affected more than males.
 About 5% of men and 20% of women suffers from migraine
headache in their whole life.
......
Signs and symptoms:
 unilateral
 pulsating in nature,
 lasting from 2 to 72 hours.
 Associated symptoms :
-nausea
- vomiting
-photophobia (increased sensitivity to light)
- phonophobia(increased sensitivity to sound)
 The pain is generally aggravated by physical activity.
Up to one-third of people with migraine headaches perceive an aura(a transient visual, sensory, language, or
motor disturbance which signals that the headache will soon occur)
PHASES OF MIGRAINE
 The prodrome which occurs hours or days before the headache.
 The aura which immediately precedes the headache.
 The pain phase also known as headache phase
 The postdrome the effects experienced following the end of a migraine
attack.
1.Prodrome phase/premonitory phase
 symptoms :
- altered mood
- Irritability
- Depression or euphoria
- fatigue
- craving for certain food
- stiff muscles (especially in the neck)
- constipation or diarrhea
- and sensitivity to smells or noise.
 occur in 60% of those with migraines with an onset of two hours to two days
before the start of pain or the aura .
 This may occur in those with either migraine with aura or migraine without aura.
2-AURA
 An aura is a transient focal neurological phenomenon that occurs before or
during the headache.
 They appear gradually over a number of minutes and generally last fewer
than 60 minutes.
 Symptoms can be visual, sensory or motor in nature and many people
experience more than one.
 Visual effects occur most frequently; they occur in up to 99% of cases and in
more than 50% of cases are not accompanied by sensory or motor effects.
a-VISUAL AURA
 Vision disturbances often consist of a scintillating
scotoma(an area of partial alteration in the field of vision
which flickers and may interfere with a person's ability to
read or drive.)
 These typically start near the center of vision and then
spread out to the sides with zigzagging lines .
 Usually the lines are in black and white but some people also
see colored lines.
 Some people lose part of their field of vision known as
hemianopsia while others experience blurring
B-Sensory aura
 Sensory aurae are the second most common type.
 They occur in 30–40% of people with auras.
 Often a feeling of pins-and-needles begins on one side in
the hand and arm and spreads to the nose-mouth area
on the same side.
 Numbness usually occurs after the tingling has passed
with a loss of position sense
.....
 Other symptoms of the aura phase can include:
-speech or language disturbances
-world spinning
-and less commonly motor problems(weakness)
3-pain phase
 Classically the headache is unilateral, throbbing, and moderate to severe in
intensity.
 It usually comes on gradually and is aggravated by physical activity.
 In more than 40% of cases however the pain may be bilateral, and neck pain is
commonly associated.
 Bilateral pain is particularly common in those who have migraines without an
aura.
 The pain usually lasts 4 to 72 hours in adultshowever in young children
frequently lasts less than 1 hour.
 The frequency of attacks is variable, from a few in a lifetime to several a week,
with the average being about one a month.
.......
 The pain is frequently accompanied by nausea, vomiting,
sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound, sensitivity to
smells, fatigue and irritability
4-Postdrome
 The effects of migraine may persist for some days after
the main headache has ended; this is called the migraine
postdrome.
Types of migraine
1. Migraine without aura, or "common migraine"
2. Migraine with aura, or "classic migraine”
3. nonmigraine headache.,aura without headache.
4. “familial hemiplegic migraine” and” sporadic hemiplegic migraine”, (mig with
motor weakness)".
5. basilar-type migraine, ( headache and aura are accompanied by difficulty
speaking’ world spinning, ringing in ears.
6. abdominal migraine (abdominal pain, usually accompanied by nausea), and
benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood (occasional attacks of vertigo).
7. Retinal migraine involves migraine headaches accompanied by visual
disturbances or even temporary blindness in one eye.
........
1. “Complications of migraine “(headaches and/or auras that are unusually
long or unusually frequent, or associated with a seizure or brain lesion. )
2. Probable migraine describes conditions that have some characteristics of
migraines, but where there is not enough evidence to diagnose it as a
migraine with certainty
3. Chronic migraine (greater or equal to 15 days/month for longer than 3
months)
CLUSTER HEADACHES
 Cluster headaches are recurring bouts of excruciating unilateral headache
attacks of extreme intensity.
 The duration of typical cluster headache attack ranges from about 15 – 180
minutes.
 The onset of an attack is rapid and most often without the preliminary signs
that are characteristic in migraine.
 men are more commonly affected than women, by a ratio of 2.1:1
......
 Other symptoms
 The cardinal symptoms of cluster headache attack are severe or very severe
unilateral orbital, supraorbital and/or temporal pain lasting 15–180 minutes.

 If left untreated, attack frequency will range from one to 8 attacks every 24
hours.
 The headache attack is accompanied by at least one of the following autonomic
symptoms:
- ptosis (drooping eyelid),
- miosis (pupil constriction)
- conjunctival injection (redness of the conjunctiva),
- lacrimation(tearing),
- rhinorrhea (runny nose),
- and, less commonly, facial blushing, swelling, or sweating, all appearing on the
same side of the head as the pain

Headaches and brain tumors
 The pain can be described as dull, aching, or throbbing.
 Over time, the headaches may become more frequent,
increasing in severity, and eventually be a constant
occurrence that is not easily relieved.
 Changes in body position can make them worse,
especially when lying down.
 They can also be worsened by coughing or sneezing.
RED FLAGS OF BRAIN TUMOR
1-These headaches are new for you.
2- Your headaches are accompanied by other symptoms:
nausea, dizziness, vomiting,seizures, difficulty speaking, weakness in the
limbs, or problems with peripheral vision.
3- Your headaches start when you wake up in the morning.
.......
4-Your headaches get worse over time
5-Something just doesn't seem right
POST TRAUMATIC HEADACHES
 Post-traumatic headache Often occurs after head injury.
 Frequency and severity of headache usually diminishes in
6 to 12 months
 Causes
 Scar formation in scalp
 Ruptured blood vessels causing hematoma
thunderclap headache
 It is defined as a severe headache that
takes seconds to minutes to reach
maximum intensity.(severe and sudden).
 It can be indicative of a number of medical
problems, most importantly subarachnoid
hemorrhage, which can be life-threatening.
.........
 Causes:
 The most important causes are:
- subarachnoid hemorrhage
- cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and
- cervical artery dissection
ASSOCIATED SIGNNS AND
SYMPTOMS
 In subarachnoid hemorrhage
there may be syncope(transient
loss of consciousness), seizures
meningism (neck pain and
stiffness), visual symptoms, and
vomiting
 50–70% of people with
subarachnoid hemorrhage have
an isolated headache without
decreased level of
consciousness.
 The headache typically persists
for several days.
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis
thrombosis of the veins of the brain,
usually causes a headache that reflects
raised intracranial pressure and is
therefore made worse by anything
that makes the pressure rise further,
such as coughing.
In most cases there are other
neurological abnormalities, such as
seizures and weakness of part of the
body, but in 15–30% the headache is
the only abnormality.
ASSOCIATED SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
 Carotid artery dissection and
vertebral artery dissection, often
causes pain on the affected side of
the head or neck.
 The pain usually precedes other
problems that are caused by
impaired blood flow through the
artery into the brain; these may
include visual symptoms, weakness
of part of the body, and other
abnormalities depending on the
vessel affected
.
CHRONIC HEADACHES
MANAGEMENT OF HEADACHES
 Firstly, assessing for symptoms of secondary causes of headache, starting with
conditions that require immediate or urgent referral before considering less
serious secondary causes including medication over-use headache.
 Then, if a secondary cause for headache has been excluded, assessing for the
primary headache disorders, starting with tension-type headache and migraine
before considering less common disorders such as cluster headache.
 Examination for signs of secondary causes of headache should include at least:
 Measurement of blood pressure.
 Palpation of the temporal arteries, if the person is more than 50 years of age.
 A neurological examination, including fundoscopy for papilloedema.
 Referral for specialist assessment.(IF secondary headaches diagnosed)
-----
 If the cause of the headache cannot be diagnosed then
Ask the person to record a headache diary, and reviewing
this in a few weeks.
HEADACHE DIARY/SUBJECTIVE

2-TTH Very high
3-Cluster Moderate to high
4-cervicogenic headaches high
RED FLAGS OF SERIOUS HEADACHES
 New onset
headaches beginning at age 40
 mass lesion, temporal arteritis
 More SEVERE and FREQUENT headaches (worst headache ever)
mass lesion, subdural hematoma, medication overuse, post-coital headache/migraine
 SUDDEN onset (maximal at onset - no increase over time)
SAH, mass lesion (especially in the posterior fossa)
 headache ASSOCIATED with
o fever (meningitis, encephalitis, systemic infection)
o projectile vomiting
o impaired mental status
o focal neurological signs - weakness, paresthesia (mass lesion, stroke)
o recent head injury
o papilledema (mass lesion, pseudotumor, meningitis)
treatment
 TTH:
 over-the-counter medications, including:
-Aspirin
-Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others)
-Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others)
 In addition, alternative therapies aimed at stress
reduction may help. They include:
-Meditation
-Relaxation training
-Massage
-acupuncture
Manual therapy:
-spinal mobilization
-myofascial trigger points theray
Soft tissue mob
•Migraine
•treatment is aimed at relieving
symptoms and preventing additional
attacks.
•Avoid triggers
•. Treatment may include:
-Over-the-counter medications
-Prescription medications
-Rest in a quiet, dark room
-acupuncture
-Hot or cold compresses to your head
or neck
-Massage and small amounts of
caffeine
Treatment
 CLUSTER HEADACHE :
 Because the pain of a cluster headache strikes suddenly
and may subside quickly, over-the-counter pain
relievers aren't effective.
 Steps that may help include:
-Preventive medications
-Injectable medications, such as sumatriptan (Imitrex,
Sumavel Dosepro, others), for quick relief during an
attack
-Prescription triptan nasal sprays.
-Inhalation of 100 percent oxygen through a mask
-Pacing, rocking or head rubbing because most people feel
restless during a cluster headache

Headaches Types and Manual Therapy

  • 1. HEADACHES AND ITS TYPES Manual therapy BY USMAN FAROOQ
  • 2. Definition  The term cervicogenic headache was first introduced by Sjaastad et al.(1983).  The definition of cervicogenic headache is described as ‘‘Referred pain perceived in any region of the head caused by a primary nociceptive source in the musculoskeletal tissues innervated by the cervical nerves.’’ (Alix,1999)  Sources of this pain lie in the structures innervated by the C1-C3 spinal nerves and include the : (Bogduk , 2001) upper cervical synovial joints, ligaments muscles of the sub-cranial spine discogenic (C2-C3) pain-sensitive dura matter
  • 3. DEFINITION  A Headache or Cephalalgia is pain anywhere in the head or neck . • It is one of the most common locations of pain in the body with many causes. • Its the most common symptom of a number of different conditions
  • 4. MECHANISM  The brain itself is insensitive but some intra cranial structures have receptors for pain. These are: • The major venous sinuses • The arteries round the base of the brain • The meningeal arteries and • The dura of anterior & posterior fossae (not the middle fossa) • All the extra cranial tissues are pain sensitive.
  • 5. MECHANISM  The most important mechanism underlying headaches are: 1. Vasodilatation 2. Traction on intra cranial structures 3. Inflammation 4. Muscles spasm 5. Referred pain and 6. Psychogenic headache
  • 6. 1. Vascular Headache  For the vascular headache dilatation of intra cranial vessels is responsible for headache  Abrupt elevation of blood pressure may cause headache.  Vascular headache is typically throbbing in nature.  The headache of migraine and chronic hypertension on the other hand is due to dilatation of extra cranial arteries.
  • 7. 2. Traction on Intracranial Structures • In addition to distension, traction on the great vessels and dura at the base of the brain causes headache. • Pain is momentarily increased by sudden movement of the head. • Sometimes pain of this nature indicates the localisation of the cerebral tumour. • The value of headache as a localising sign is reduced by the fact that the pain may be referred to another part of the head but if unilateral it does help to indicate the side of the tumour.
  • 8. 3. Headache due to Inflammation • Meningeal irritation due to: 1 - Meningitis 2 -Haemorrhage or 3 -other cause • Produces generalised headache which is increased by head movement, coughing or straining. • Involvement of the roots of the cranial nerves contributes to headache by causing spasm of occipital and nuchal muscles.
  • 9. ............. • Neck rigidity is an important sign of meningeal inflammation. • Extra cranial inflammation usually causes more localised headache. • Cranial arteritis is also characterised by localised throbbing pain in the head, sometimes associated with arteritis in the other parts of the body.
  • 10. 4. Headache due to Muscle Spasm • This is one of the most common mechanisms of headache. • Intensity vary from a feeling of tightness to a true aching pain. • It may be unilateral but is usually bilateral. • Nodular areas and points of tenderness may be palpable in the painful muscles or along the occipital and supra orbital ridges.
  • 11. .........  Secondary muscle spasm may contribute to a prolonged pain referred from other structures.  It may also be caused by irritation of cervical nerve roots by cervical spondylosis .
  • 12. 5. Referred Headache • Disease of structures in the head may cause pain referred to the cranium. • Eye disease such as glaucoma and iritis causes frontal headache. • Ciliary spasm induced by some errors of refraction may cause pain • Nasal and sinus disease causes pain in the molar, nasal and frontal areas. • Dental, aural and temporo-mandibular joint diseases may cause pain spreading far beyond the area of primary pain. • Pain may even be referred to the head in angina pectoris.
  • 13. 6. Psychogenic Headache • By far the most common cause of headache is emotional upset. • It is often vascular or tension type but There is usually an underlying personality defect. • It is often a sense of pressure at the vertex or a tight band round the head, constant day and night, and completely resistant to analgesic drugs.
  • 14. HEADACHE CLASSIFICATION  The INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF HEADACHE DISORDER(ICHD) is an in-depth Hierarchical classification of headaches published by the International Headache Society.  Headaches are classified as :  1-primary headaches  2-secondary headaches
  • 15. PRIMARY HEADACHES  Primary headaches are those that exist independent from any other medical condition.
  • 16. PRIMARY HEADACHES  INCLUDES MAINLY:  Migraines  Tension type headaches  Cluster headaches  Also, according to the same classification, stabbing headaches and headaches due to cough , exertion and sexual activity (coital cephalalgia) are classified as primary headaches
  • 17. SECONDARY HEADACHES  Secondary headaches are classified based on their etiology and not on their symptoms.  occur due to an underlying structure problem in the head or neck.
  • 18. Part 2: The secondary headaches ©International Headache Society 2003/4ICHD-II. Cephalalgia 2004; 24 (Suppl 1) Part 2: The secondary headaches 5. Headache attributed to head and/or neck trauma 6. Headache attributed to cranial or cervical vascular disorder 7. Headache attributed to non-vascular intracranial disorder 8. Headache attributed to a substance or its withdrawal 9. Headache attributed to infection 10. Headache attributed to disorder of homoeostasis 11. Headache or facial pain attributed to disorder of cranium, neck, eyes, ears, nose, sinuses, teeth, mouth or other facial or cranial structures 12. Headache attributed to psychiatric disorder
  • 19. .......  The ICHD classification puts cranial neuralgias and other types of neuralgia in a different category.  According to this system, there are 19 types of neuralgias and headaches due to different central causes of facial pain.
  • 20. NIH CLASSIFICATION  It outlines five types of headache: 1-vascular 2-myogenic (muscle tension) 3-cervicogenic 4-traction 5-and inflammatory.
  • 21. VASCULAR  The most common type of vascular headache is migraine.  After migraine, the most common type of vascular headache is the "toxic" headache produced by fever.  Other kinds of vascular headaches include cluster headaches,
  • 22. MUSCULAR /MYOGENIC  When strained or irritated neck muscles cause the pain, the headaches are myogenic.  (When dysfunctional or irritated spinal joints cause the pain, the headaches are vertebrogenic.)  Caused by trauma to the head and neck from injuries such as : -Whiplash -poor posture - occupational or recreational stresses ( extended phone use and other activities that keep the neck in awkward positions for prolonged periods).
  • 23. .......  mild to severe discomfort or pain  Unilateral/sometimes bilateral  starts in the involved muscles and spread to the temples and possibly a combination of the ears, eyes and top of the head.
  • 24. ..........  Aggravated by awkward or uncomfortable postures and certain neck movements, like turning or bending your neck can make the pain worse.  The muscles around your neck may also be tight and abnormally tender.  Limited ROM.
  • 25. CERVICOGENIC  Cervicogenic headache is a syndrome characterized by chronic hemicranial pain that is referred to the head from either bony structures or soft tissues of the neck.  Occurrence among females is twice that of males
  • 26. .......  Headaches are unilateral dominanat side headache associated with neck pain and aggrevated by neck movements.  Movement stresses of the cervical spine are associated with the headache complaint (e.g headache is worse at the end of a day’s work at the computer screen or talking on phone)
  • 27. Cervicogenic Headache Diagnosis Subjective Location of Pain Starts neck, occipital Ipsilateral, vague, nonradicular neck/shoulder/arm Occasional radicular symptoms Forehead, temporal, whole, frontal, orbital Pain Characteristics Unilateral without sideshift or Bilateral Moderate-severe Non-throbbing/ dull, aching Non-lancinating Becomes more continuous Varying duration Pain Increases With Neck movement Posture Awkward head positioning Pressure over ipsilateral cervical/occipital area Objective Cervical ROM Decreased PROM Palpable Findings Tender neck muscles Change in neck muscle properties Pain on C2/3 facet palpation and dermatome Response to Blockade Occipital nerves, facets, or nerve roots abolish or relieve pain Radiologic Findings (possible) Flexion/extension abnormalities Fracture Congenital anomaly Tumor/rheumatoid arthritis, not spondylosis Neck Trauma Possible Other Nausea, vomiting Edema, flushing Dizziness Phono/photophobia Blurred vision Dysphagia No effect with indomethacin, ergotamine, or sumatripan
  • 28. Traction/inflammatory  Traction and inflammatory headaches are symptoms of other disorders, ranging from stroke to sinus infection. Specific types of headaches include:  Tension headache  Migraine  Cluster headache  "Brain freeze" (also known as: ice cream headache)  Thunderclap headache  Vascular headache  Toxic headache
  • 29. ........  Coital cephalalgia (also known as: sex headache)  Rebound headache (also called medication overuse headache, abbreviated MOH)  "Spinal headache" (or: post-dural puncture headaches)  Withdrawal (caused by medication or other dependency creating substance removal/cessation)
  • 31. Tension headache  It is the most common type of primary headache.  About 90% adults have this type of headache.  Tension headache occur more frequently in females than males.  The pain can radiate from the lower back of the head, the neck, eyes, or other muscle groups in the body.
  • 32. ......  CAUSES:  Stress: (after long stressful work hours or after an exam)  Sleep deprivation  Uncomfortable stressful position and/or bad posture  Irregular meal time (hunger)  Eyestrain
  • 33. .......  Signs and symptoms  Constant pressure,(squeezing).  Bilateral  Typically mild to moderate, but may be severe.  Frequency and duration  can be episodic or chronic  Episodic TTH occurrs fewer than 15 days a month  chronic TTH occurs 15 days or more a month for at least 6 months. 
  • 34. Tension-type headaches can last from minutes to days, months or even years, though a typical tension headache lasts 4–6 hours.
  • 35.
  • 36. Migraine  It is the second common type of primary headache .  Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent moderate to severe headaches often in association with a number of autonomic nervous system symptoms.  It affects both children and adults. Before puberty boys and girls are equally affected by migraine headache but after puberty females are affected more than males.  About 5% of men and 20% of women suffers from migraine headache in their whole life.
  • 37. ...... Signs and symptoms:  unilateral  pulsating in nature,  lasting from 2 to 72 hours.  Associated symptoms : -nausea - vomiting -photophobia (increased sensitivity to light) - phonophobia(increased sensitivity to sound)  The pain is generally aggravated by physical activity.
  • 38. Up to one-third of people with migraine headaches perceive an aura(a transient visual, sensory, language, or motor disturbance which signals that the headache will soon occur)
  • 39.
  • 40. PHASES OF MIGRAINE  The prodrome which occurs hours or days before the headache.  The aura which immediately precedes the headache.  The pain phase also known as headache phase  The postdrome the effects experienced following the end of a migraine attack.
  • 41. 1.Prodrome phase/premonitory phase  symptoms : - altered mood - Irritability - Depression or euphoria - fatigue - craving for certain food - stiff muscles (especially in the neck) - constipation or diarrhea - and sensitivity to smells or noise.  occur in 60% of those with migraines with an onset of two hours to two days before the start of pain or the aura .  This may occur in those with either migraine with aura or migraine without aura.
  • 42. 2-AURA  An aura is a transient focal neurological phenomenon that occurs before or during the headache.  They appear gradually over a number of minutes and generally last fewer than 60 minutes.  Symptoms can be visual, sensory or motor in nature and many people experience more than one.  Visual effects occur most frequently; they occur in up to 99% of cases and in more than 50% of cases are not accompanied by sensory or motor effects.
  • 43. a-VISUAL AURA  Vision disturbances often consist of a scintillating scotoma(an area of partial alteration in the field of vision which flickers and may interfere with a person's ability to read or drive.)  These typically start near the center of vision and then spread out to the sides with zigzagging lines .  Usually the lines are in black and white but some people also see colored lines.  Some people lose part of their field of vision known as hemianopsia while others experience blurring
  • 44. B-Sensory aura  Sensory aurae are the second most common type.  They occur in 30–40% of people with auras.  Often a feeling of pins-and-needles begins on one side in the hand and arm and spreads to the nose-mouth area on the same side.  Numbness usually occurs after the tingling has passed with a loss of position sense
  • 45. .....  Other symptoms of the aura phase can include: -speech or language disturbances -world spinning -and less commonly motor problems(weakness)
  • 46. 3-pain phase  Classically the headache is unilateral, throbbing, and moderate to severe in intensity.  It usually comes on gradually and is aggravated by physical activity.  In more than 40% of cases however the pain may be bilateral, and neck pain is commonly associated.  Bilateral pain is particularly common in those who have migraines without an aura.  The pain usually lasts 4 to 72 hours in adultshowever in young children frequently lasts less than 1 hour.  The frequency of attacks is variable, from a few in a lifetime to several a week, with the average being about one a month.

Chronic migraine (greater or equal to 15 days/month for longer than 3 months)
  • 51. CLUSTER HEADACHES  Cluster headaches are recurring bouts of excruciating unilateral headache attacks of extreme intensity.  The duration of typical cluster headache attack ranges from about 15 – 180 minutes.  The onset of an attack is rapid and most often without the preliminary signs that are characteristic in migraine.  men are more commonly affected than women, by a ratio of 2.1:1
  • 52. ......  Other symptoms  The cardinal symptoms of cluster headache attack are severe or very severe unilateral orbital, supraorbital and/or temporal pain lasting 15–180 minutes.   If left untreated, attack frequency will range from one to 8 attacks every 24 hours.  The headache attack is accompanied by at least one of the following autonomic symptoms: - ptosis (drooping eyelid), - miosis (pupil constriction) - conjunctival injection (redness of the conjunctiva), - lacrimation(tearing), - rhinorrhea (runny nose), - and, less commonly, facial blushing, swelling, or sweating, all appearing on the same side of the head as the pain

  • 55. Headaches and brain tumors  The pain can be described as dull, aching, or throbbing.  Over time, the headaches may become more frequent, increasing in severity, and eventually be a constant occurrence that is not easily relieved.  Changes in body position can make them worse, especially when lying down.  They can also be worsened by coughing or sneezing.
  • 56. RED FLAGS OF BRAIN TUMOR 1-These headaches are new for you. 2- Your headaches are accompanied by other symptoms: nausea, dizziness, vomiting,seizures, difficulty speaking, weakness in the limbs, or problems with peripheral vision. 3- Your headaches start when you wake up in the morning.
  • 57. ....... 4-Your headaches get worse over time 5-Something just doesn't seem right
  • 58. POST TRAUMATIC HEADACHES  Post-traumatic headache Often occurs after head injury.  Frequency and severity of headache usually diminishes in 6 to 12 months  Causes  Scar formation in scalp  Ruptured blood vessels causing hematoma
  • 59. thunderclap headache  It is defined as a severe headache that takes seconds to minutes to reach maximum intensity.(severe and sudden).  It can be indicative of a number of medical problems, most importantly subarachnoid hemorrhage, which can be life-threatening.
  • 60. .........  Causes:  The most important causes are: - subarachnoid hemorrhage - cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and - cervical artery dissection
  • 61. ASSOCIATED SIGNNS AND SYMPTOMS  In subarachnoid hemorrhage there may be syncope(transient loss of consciousness), seizures meningism (neck pain and stiffness), visual symptoms, and vomiting  50–70% of people with subarachnoid hemorrhage have an isolated headache without decreased level of consciousness.  The headache typically persists for several days. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis thrombosis of the veins of the brain, usually causes a headache that reflects raised intracranial pressure and is therefore made worse by anything that makes the pressure rise further, such as coughing. In most cases there are other neurological abnormalities, such as seizures and weakness of part of the body, but in 15–30% the headache is the only abnormality.
  • 62. ASSOCIATED SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS  Carotid artery dissection and vertebral artery dissection, often causes pain on the affected side of the head or neck.  The pain usually precedes other problems that are caused by impaired blood flow through the artery into the brain; these may include visual symptoms, weakness of part of the body, and other abnormalities depending on the vessel affected .
