I. For functional headache or headache caused by extracranial diseases.
1. Correctly understand the disease and build up self-confidence. The majority of the headaches encountered in the clinic are still functional, and if organic diseases are ruled out after the relevant examination, it is best to believe in science, establish the belief that you can win the disease, actively cooperate with the treatment, and eliminate the negative implication of self.
2, advocate a regular life and work. Get enough sleep, have a reasonable diet structure, quit bad habits; actively participate in interesting cultural and sports activities.
3.Actively treat the primary disease.
4.Take drugs correctly for prevention.
Second, for ordinary tension-type headache
The best way is to avoid stressful situations and any behaviors that may lead to tension. This is easier said than done, but difficult. Sometimes it is difficult to identify a stressful situation; even if you recognize it, it is difficult to avoid it.
For example, having to submit a report to your boss, being assigned to do three hours of continuous typing, having a disobedient child at home, etc. On certain occasions, it is worth trying to take certain precautions.
Do not maintain the same posture for a long time. For example, avoid sitting at a desk with your back arched for a long time, you should stand up from time to time to stretch your limbs, move your muscles, talk to others about something unrelated to the current troubles or difficulties, and relax. Lie down and rest for a while or take a warm bath to loosen yourself up, and if this self-help therapy does not work, seek medical attention. Consider trying some other non-pharmacological treatments to prevent headaches, such as biofeedback, relaxation therapy and other therapies that relax the muscles and blood vessels in the head.
Third, the care method of headache
Headache is one of the most common clinical symptoms. It is a subjective sensation produced by the body in response to various pain-causing factors and belongs to the category of pain. The pain-causing factors can be physical, chemical, biochemical or mechanical, etc. These factors stimulate the headache located outside the skull. These factors stimulate the sensory nerve endings located in the intracranial and extracranial tissues, which are transmitted to the brain through the corresponding conduction pathways and are perceived.
Points to note in the care of headache:
1. Mild headache. Generally, no rest is needed and painkillers can be taken. If you have a severe headache, you must rest in bed.
2.The environment should be quiet and the light in the room should be soft.
3. Pay attention to understanding the cause of the patient’s headache so that corresponding care can be given in a targeted manner. Also, pay attention to the patient’s mental clarity and the presence of symptoms such as facial and orofacial distortion.
4.Acupuncture and massage treatment can be given according to the area of headache. For forehead pain, take Yin Tang, He Gu and Yang Bai points. For bilateral pain, take Baihui; for posterior top pain, take Fengchi, Waiguan and other acupoints.
5.Patients with headache and dizziness, irritability, poor night sleep, red face and bitter mouth symptoms should strengthen their mental care, eliminate the patient’s irritability, tension and other adverse emotions to avoid triggering other diseases; hypertensive patients should pay attention to rest, keep quiet and take antihypertensive drugs on time.
6.For headache caused by some diseases with clear causes, the condition should be controlled first to relieve the pain.
IV. Preventive health care for summer headache
Headache is a common symptom of many diseases, and there are three main types: neurological headache, infectious headache, and intracranial and extracranial headache. The first two types of headache are caused by physical weakness or wind invasion, and most of them are related to weather conditions. Clinical practice and modern medical research have shown that summer heat, humidity, thunderstorms, high winds, and sudden changes in weather often trigger or aggravate headaches; summer diet and sleep also often directly cause headaches.
According to the specific effects of climate on headache, the common headache in summer can be divided into three categories.
1. Resistance summer headache. This is a typical seasonal headache that strikes in the summer. After autumn, it will be cured without treatment. Summer climate is hot
Especially in the early summer when the temperature rises suddenly and in the hot summer when the temperature exceeds 37℃, people with a history of resistance to summer generally have difficulty adapting to it, so they start to have disorders of plant nerve function, loss of appetite, lack of sleep, general weakness, and headache often accompanied by low fever. The main cause of resistance summer headache is weakness and lack of qi and blood; it should be treated as resistance summer. In summer, we should improve the diet and eat more vegetables and fruits, while improving indoor cooling and ensuring a certain amount of sleep.
2.Cold drink headache. The summer weather is as hot as a steamer, cold watermelon, cold beer, ice cream and other cold drinks naturally become people’s “pet” But when cold drinks are imported, it will give strong stimulation to the oral mucosa, which may make the nerves of the palate skin produce radioactive pain, this pain is not obvious to some people, but it may lead to some patients with a history of headache (such as This pain is not obvious to some people, but may lead to acute attacks in some patients with a history of headaches (e.g., migraines). These patients often experience double vision, unbearable headaches, and even tinnitus or mild nausea after eating cold drinks. Therefore, people with a history of headache must eat less or no cold drinks, and if the headache attack is not very serious, you can use your hand to massage the area repeatedly to relieve the pain; if the headache is particularly severe, you should seek medical attention in time.
3.Low cranial pressure headache. In summer, the temperature is often higher than the body temperature, so the evaporation of sweat is the main way for the body to dissipate heat. When the sweat evaporates too much, the human body is easily dehydrated; in addition, because of the climate, food is easily spoiled in summer.
People eat spoiled food, easy to suffer from acute gastroenteritis or bacterial dysentery, thus vomiting and diarrhea, resulting in dehydration, human dehydration, when the body position change, especially when standing, headache symptoms will occur, headache should be bed rest. However, no pillow is used to keep the head low. In order to eliminate and reduce dehydration, a certain amount of saline can be input.
