Almost everyone suffers from headaches during their lifetime, whether severe or mild, long or short. Some clinical patients do not take it seriously, but more people will worry about headache, especially those who have recurrent headache with a long course of illness, and some of them even fear or panic about it. If the treatment is not effective or ineffective, the doubts will be increased, and even the confidence in treatment will be lost. For this reason, it is necessary to popularize the knowledge about headache: firstly, headache does not mean that there must be something wrong in the brain or special examination must be done; secondly, headache is not something that some people think that there is no need to see a doctor. We know that headache is one of the most common clinical symptoms that affects almost everyone, and up to 90% of people will suffer from headache in one year. Headache is not an independent disease, but it is the most diagnosed condition in medicine, with more than 300 different types and causes according to incomplete statistics, and its clinical symptoms and manifestations as well as its causes are often complex and varied. Especially for some headaches, it is difficult to get objective diagnostic basis of imaging and other laboratory tests like other diseases. Therefore, the diagnosis of headache mainly relies on the experience of doctors and the statements of patients. The following is a list of the common types of headache. 1.Vascular headache: including migraine, hypertensive headache and cerebrovascular disease headache. 2.Cervicogenic headache. 3.Muscle tension headache. 4.Nervous headache. 5.Headache after head trauma. 6.Cold and fever headache. 7.Neurosis headache. 8.Facial disease diffuse headache (such as rhinogenic headache, ophthalmogenic headache). 9.Epileptic headache. 10.Meningitis headache. 11, intracranial tumor headache, etc. In addition, there are drug headache, pregnancy headache, summer headache, cold drink headache, headache with glasses, etc. Although the symptoms of headache are complicated and often closely related to certain acute and chronic diseases of the whole body, neurological and mental status and the functional condition of the body, it is generally not difficult for doctors to confirm the diagnosis after detailed medical history and necessary examination. As a patient, you should pay attention to and record the nature, location, time and triggering factors of the headache, as well as the presence of aura symptoms and other accompanying symptoms, especially when you have an attack. Inform your doctor in detail when you visit him/her so that he/she can conduct the necessary tests for you in order to determine the cause and treat the symptoms as soon as possible to avoid misdiagnosis. In addition, it should be noted that although most headaches are benign, headaches caused by certain secondary headaches such as hypertension, cranial trauma, ophthalmogenic, brain tumor, meningitis, cerebrovascular accident and other diseases are quite serious and often life-threatening. Therefore, once you suffer from headache, you should seek medical advice and follow the doctor’s recommendations and treatment as soon as possible. Lastly, most headaches (except for the above-mentioned “some secondary headaches”), even decades-old chronic headaches, can be cured with regular acupuncture treatment and achieve excellent or better results.
