Abstract
Headache is a prevalent neurological symptom affecting individuals across all age groups and demographics. It arises from irritation or stimulation of pain- sensitive structures in the head, scalp, or neck, including blood vessels, meninges, muscles, cranial nerves, and sinuses. This article explores the epidemiology of headache disorders, distinguishing between common types such as migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches. It categorizes causes into external (e.g., compression from
accessories) and internal origins, including neurological, vascular, infectious, ocular, endocrine, psychological, and systemic factors. Special attention is given to red flag symptoms that may indicate serious underlying pathology. The article also
presents a detailed overview of homeopathic remedies tailored to specific headache profiles, offering Insights into alternative therapeutic approaches. By integrating conventional understanding with holistic treatment options, this piece aims to provide a comprehensive resource for clinicians, students, and individuals seeking informed strategies for headache management.
