Cephalalgia, commonly known as Headache is a severe pain condition in the head, the scalp and the neck area. Headache itself can be an illness or the symptoms of various other diseases. Almost every one of us has experienced Headache at some point of time in life. The pain may be either on both sides of the head or at a particular location.

Headache Classification:

There are more than 200 sorts of Headache. Some are safe while others are life-threatening. In the year 2005, the International Headache Society (HIS) had released some parameters to determine the type of Headache so that it becomes easier for the doctor to diagnose the patient. Basically, Headache has been categorized into two categories depending upon the source of pain:

Primary Headache: Migraines and tension-type headaches come under this category
Secondary Headache: Headache due to over dosage of medicines and pain in area other than head and neck like cervical spine.

Causes

A headache is not caused by pain in the brain as the brain muscles are not pain-sensitive, rather it occurs when pain-sensitive structures like Cranium Subcutaneous tissues, body organs like eyes and ears around the brain receives pain.
Stress, anxiety and depression also accelerate Headache. Such type is known as tension-type Headache.
Sleeping habits, head injuries, common cold, infections (viral), dental problems and medications are some among many other causes.
