Headaches and Classification

The most common symptom experienced by almost every human at some or other point of life, headaches are actually classified into three different categories based on the intensity, duration, and the areas it can majorly affect.

Types of Headache

• Primary headaches
• Secondary headaches
• Cranial neuralgia and miscellaneous forms of headaches

Primary headaches are the most common forms of headaches and they include headaches due to tensions which is the most common type, migraines and cluster headaches. Some less common headaches due to a variety of stress and anxiety causes also belong to this category.

Secondary headaches are not actually a direct symptom but are occurred due to another underlying disorder or structural problem such as brain tumors, meningitis, neck pain, and encephalitis

If the nerves of the upper neck and head undergo inflammation, cranial neuralgia occurs causing not only aches in the head but also facial pain.
