Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the differential diagnosis of common headache types.
  • To describe the key characteristics of migraine, cluster, and tension-type headaches.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive patient history taking.
  • Physical examination.
  • Specific diagnostic testing to exclude secondary causes.

Main Results:

  • Headache diagnosis is facilitated by detailed patient history.
  • Three primary headache classifications are readily identifiable: migraine, cluster, and tension-type.

  • Migraine: moderate-to-severe intensity, often with nausea and photophobia/phonophobia, more common in women.
  • Cluster headache: severe unilateral pain, recurrent attacks, more common in men.
  • Tension-type headache: mild-to-moderate dull pain, often stress-related, most common form.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding the distinct triggers and manifestations of each headache type is essential.
    • Effective management strategies depend on accurate identification of the headache classification.
