A headache is classified as pain in any region of the head.
Headaches have the ability to occur on one or both sides of the head, radiate
from one point to another or be isolated in location. Headaches vary in pain
intensity and sensation. Certain headaches cause a dull, achy feel (tension
headaches) while other headaches cause a sharp, stabbing sensation (migraines).
Many types of headaches are often cured with over-the-counter pain relievers, but
migraine treatment is more complex and may require a unique pain management
approach. The Tyler, Texas pain doctors at Pain Recovery Center of Tyler are
available to assist patients suffering from the most common headache types.
Headaches are generally classified by the cause. A primary
headache is caused by over-activity of or problems with pain-sensitive
structures in the head, while a secondary headache is a symptom of a health
condition.

blog article dedicated to this topic here.
Migraines are one of the most discussed headaches because
the pain is so severe that it can cause individuals to lose productivity at
home and on the job. Migraine attacks cause significant pain for hours or days,
typically on just one side of the head, and can become disabling if a proper
migraine treatment is not in place.
