Abstract
Aim: Headache is a common disorder, categorized as primary or secondary, with migraines being prevalent in Saudi Arabia. Chronic migraine significantly impacts daily life, necessitating a multifaceted management approach. Our study aims to understand different types of chronic headaches and understand their management.
Methods: This review was conducted using a comprehensive search of PubMed and Google Scholar from 1990 to 2023.
Conclusion: Headaches are a prevalent neurological disorder categorized as primary or secondary, with primary headaches being more common. Primary headaches, like migraines, tension-type headaches, and cluster headaches, significantly impact the quality of life. Secondary headaches require consideration of serious conditions, especially if accompanied by neurological symptoms. Immediate consultation with specialists is crucial in uncertain cases to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
