Even though the brain itself is not sensitive to pain, numerous regions of the skull such as the scalp, face, mouth and throat have pain-sensitive nerve fibers, which can ache. Headache - or cephalgia - usually refers to any sort of pain that would be felt in one or several of these sensitive regions of the skull.

Headaches can be belong to one of two types: Primary headaches, to which stress headache, cluster headache and migraine headache belong and which are not caused by any other condition; And Secondary headaches which are caused by another condition.

Headaches are the most typical disorder of the nervous system. Everybody will suffer from headache at least once , but for 55 million Americans, it is an everyday thing.

Headaches can be extremely handicapping and may be detrimental to the lives of individuals who have to go through them. Work capacity is reduced for these individuals, which can be detrimental to their economic situation.

Social skills are also reduced as the pain, or the fear thereof, may make people more likely to be upset. People who have migraine even have to constantly pay attention to the things they eat, the things they see, and also the things they smell, as some strong or disagreeable sensations may cause pain.

Because headaches are perceived as such an usual, trivial condition, the persons who suffer from them on a constant basis also have to endure the incomprehension of other people.

Tension headache is mainly momentary and may last from several minutes to several hours, but can sometimes last for numerous days in the most severe cases. It is commonly described as a strong steady pressure, most commonly on each side of the head, or encircling it, occasionally also extending to the neck.

Migraine is slightly different and is thought to most certainly have a genetic cause. Migraines happen when the brain releases painful substances, that spread around the nerves and vessels of the head. Migraine generally occurs once a month and lasts for a few hours, with accompanying symptoms such as nausea and intolerance of normal levels of light and sound.

Cluster headaches generally occur frequently and do not last long. They are also extremely painful. They happen in clusters of six to twelve weeks every one or two years, very often at the same period of the year. The pain is extremely sharp and affects all of the head, most often beginning in the eye, and then affecting the forehead, nose and mouth. It is much more rare than some other kinds of headache and usually affects the male population.

Headaches are generally treated using over-the-counter analgesic drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen or paracetamol. A physician could also prescribe avoiding some common triggers such as noise or some sorts of foods.
