Headaches / Facial Pain

Headaches / Facial Pain

Any head pain is referred to as a headache. A headache might be localized, radiate from one area across the head, affect one or both sides of the head, or feel vise-like.

A headache might manifest as a dull ache, a throbbing discomfort, or a searing pain. The duration of a headache can range from less than an hour to many days, and they might appear gradually or suddenly.

Headaches come in a wide variety of forms and variations. One subtype is chronic daily headaches, which happen 15 days or more a month. Other typical subtypes of headaches are tension-type headaches and migraines, which can also be chronic.

A migraine is a type of headache that often affects one side of the head and can cause excruciating throbbing pain or a pulsating sensation. Severe light and sound sensitivity, nausea, and vomiting are frequently present. The pain from migraine attacks can be so bad that it interferes with everyday tasks and can persist for hours or even days.

Causes

Most headaches are complex and the cause is hard to determine.  The tissues surrounding the brain, certain cranial and other central nervous system originating nerves, and the arteries in the head and neck can all causes discomfort. Headache pain can also be caused by the teeth, sinuses, muscles, and joints in the neck.

TREATMENTS

The majority of infrequent tension-type headaches are readily managed with over-the-counter drugs, such as:

  • Ibuprofen with aspirin (Advil, Motrin IB, etc.)
  • Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol)
  • Triptans, such as zolmitriptan (Zomig) and sumatriptan (Imitrex), are prescription drugs.

The majority of chronic headaches may be managed with anti-seizure medication, antidepressants, or calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors.
