Headache and Migraine Definitions

November 24, 2009 by dean · Leave a Comment 

Whilst keeping you informed of the latest research I have used the following terms:

Headache, Migraine, Migraine with aura, Migraine without aura, Tension-type headache, Cluster headache, Paroxysmal Hemicrania, SUNCT, Hemicrania Continua, Cervicogenic headache, Post-Traumatic headache, Menstrual Migraine, Sinus headache, Migraine Episodes, Signs of Pain, Frequency of Pain, Severity of Pain, Symptoms of Pain, Medical Literature, Spinal Segment, Intervertebral Segment, Intervertebral Artery, Triptans, Differential Diagnosis, Abnormal Activity, Brainstem Sensitisation, Headache Continuum, Secondary Headache, Occipital Nerve, Primary Headache, Photophobia, Phonophobia and Osmophobia.

In my experience people who suffer from headache or migraine aree knowledgeable about their pain. However a significant proportion of people suffer in silence and often do not seek treatment or have the resources to do so.

Should you have any questions or comments that you wish to pose or make about any of the terms used please do so.

Cheers

Dean
