Headache is a clinical symptom and is one of the most common nervous system conditions in the population. It is a painful and disabling manifestation that can be triggered by a primary cause (migraine, tension headache, cluster headache, etc.) or secondary (vascular, infectious, traumatic, medicated, etc.). This symptom is a frequent reason for consultation in general medicine and is also a frequent reason for going to the emergency room. Globally, the estimated prevalence of headache in adults is around 70% (painful episode experienced at least once a year). Varying considerably from one region of the world to another, headaches are however considered a public health issue in terms of disability and financial cost to society. The main financial impact is the loss of working hours and the drop in productivity. The global study of the burden of disease, in 2016 classified headaches as a whole as the 2nd cause responsible for years living with the symptom. Headaches impact all aspects of the patient's life (personal and professional) and contribute to strongly modifying behaviors such as the constant apprehension of the next painful episode.

​

Primary headaches (migraine and tension headache among others) are the most prevalent in the population and their diagnoses are based on precise interrogation criteria of the International Classification of Headaches with a normal clinical examination not justifying additional examinations.

​

Secondary headaches have multiple etiologies and require diagnostic confirmation based on a clinical examination and depending on the case of additional investigations (such as cerebral and cervical CT scan, cerebral magnetic resonance imaging, etc.). The so-called cervicogenic secondary headaches, according to international criteria, are to be related to a cervical musculoskeletal disorder whose identification by a neurologist may be difficult. Indeed, this type of headache is presented by a hemicrânia +/- associated with neck pain and sometimes dizziness.

​

The understanding of headaches and the pathophysiology of the chronicization of its symptoms has evolved in the light of the literature and therefore conditions the use of valid and reliable evaluation to guide the patient towards the most suitable treatment. Knowledge of pain modulation, the evaluation of headache chronicization factors and the triage of patients using a multidisciplinary approach (physiotherapy and drug treatment) must be mastered to enable patients with headaches to receive treatment. the most suitable for improving their symptoms, function and quality of life.
