Headache disorders are among the most common
neurological conditions, affecting people of all ages. These disorders are
characterized by recurrent headaches, which can significantly impact a person's
quality of life. The two main types are primary headaches, such as migraines
and tension-type headaches, and secondary headaches, which are symptoms of
underlying conditions like infections or head injuries. Migraines are often
accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound, whereas
tension-type headaches usually present as a constant, dull ache on both sides
of the head. Cluster headaches, a less common type, are marked by severe pain
around one eye and occur in cyclical patterns. Diagnosis typically involves
medical history review, physical examination, and sometimes imaging tests.
Treatment strategies include over-the-counter pain relievers, prescription
medications, lifestyle modifications, and stress management techniques.
Preventive measures, such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and a balanced
diet, can also help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.
