Webster s New World Medical Dictionary (1)

headache
A pain in the head, with the pain being
above the eyes or the ears, behind the head (occip-
ital), or in the back of the upper neck. Headache
has many causes. All headaches are classified as 
primary or secondary headaches. Primary
headaches are not associated with other diseases.
Examples of primary headaches are migraine
headaches, tension headaches, and cluster
headaches. Secondary headaches are caused by
other diseases, and the associated diseases can be
minor or major. Tension headaches are the most
common type of primary headache, and migraine
headaches are the second most common type of pri-
mary headache. Cluster headaches are a rare but
important type of primary headache, affecting
mainly men. Secondary headaches may result from
innumerable conditions, ranging from life-threaten-
ing ones such as brain tumors, strokes, meningitis,
lupus, and subarachnoid hemorrhages to less seri-
ous but common conditions such as withdrawal
from caffeine and discontinuation of analgesics
(pain-killing medications). Many people suffer
from “mixed” headache disorders, in which tension
headaches or secondary headaches may trigger
migraines. The treatment of the headache depends
on the type and severity of the headache and on
other factors, such as the age of the patient.
Treatment options include short-term and long-
term medications. Also known as cephalgia. See
also 
cluster headache; headache, tension;
hematoma, epidural; hematoma, subdural; hem-
orrhage, subarachnoid; migraine headache; sub-
arachnoid hemorrhage.
headache, cervicogenic
A headache that has its
origins in the muscles, tendons, and nerves of the
neck. It may be a simple tension headache, or it may
result from damage to neck joints, ligaments, mus-
cles, tendons, or the trigeminal nerve. Treatment for
chronic cervicogenic headaches includes massage,
physical therapy, analgesic medication, and in some
extreme cases injected nerve-block medication or
surgery. See also 
headache, tension.
