Headache disorder

A headache disorder is a broad diagnostic category characterized by recurrent or persistent pain affecting the cranial vault, facial structures, or upper cervical region It affects the central and peripheral nervous systems across pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations, with primary presentations such as migraine, tension-type headache, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias predominating in female and working-age individuals
