This review explores primary headaches, like migraine and cluster headaches, which lack structural causes. It differentiates them from secondary headaches, which stem from underlying pathologies and are less common.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Headache is a prevalent symptom encountered in clinical practice.
  • Primary headaches, unlike secondary headaches, do not involve structural abnormalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the mechanisms of primary headaches, specifically migraine and cluster headaches.
  • To differentiate primary headaches from secondary headaches.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on the pathophysiology of primary headaches.
  • Comparative analysis of primary and secondary headache mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • Primary headaches (migraine, cluster) represent the majority of cases.
  • Secondary headaches are uncommon (<10%) and linked to identifiable pathologies.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding primary headache mechanisms is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment.
  • Distinguishing between primary and secondary headaches aids in identifying underlying conditions.
