Abstract:
The great majority of headaches are harmless events characterized by discomfort in any region of the head. Pain can manifest unilaterally or bilaterally. Pain might be subtle and throbbing, or it can be intense and radiating. A common headache's length can also vary substantially. Simple headaches caused by stress, excessive alcohol use, smoking, and weariness are easily cured with aspirin and calm slumber. The cause of more complicated headaches is unknown, however it could be due to aberrant nerve activity, regional changes in brain blood flow, or the improper release of pain-transmitting neuropeptides. Headaches are divided into two types: primary headaches and secondary headaches. (1). One of the most prevalent conditions affecting the nervous system is headache disorders, which are characterized by recurrent headaches. Migraine, tension-type headaches, and cluster headaches are only a few of the major headache illnesses that can cause severe and incapacitating headaches (2). One such these is the migraine headache, which is widespread, common, incapacitating, and fundamentally manageable (3) but is also undervalued and undertreated. A frequent chronic headache disorder called migraine is characterized by recurrent headaches that last four to seventytwo hours, have a pulsating quality, are moderate to severe in severity, are made worse by regular physical activity, and are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, or phonophobia (4).
