Another name for this is a migraine with an aura, where aura describes the pain felt in the head from flashes of light and loud noises. Classic migraines also come with a tingling in the hands and/or face.

This acts much as a classic migraine, but with the absence of an aura. It can also be referred to as a “migraine headache” because light and sound are not involved with the pain one experiences with it.

Hormonal migraines occur when hormone levels in the body drop or spike. A common example is during a woman’s menstruation, when progesterone levels decrease in the body and cause the headache.

A Cluster Headache, or Horton’s Syndrome, is a disease in which a painful headache occurs on one side of the head for days or months on end. Then, they cease and go into remission, which can last months or years. Symptoms include droopy eyelids, runny nose, or redness on the side of the head in which the headache is happening. The attack is said to occur at the same time of day, every day.

Called a secondary headache, this means that the pain is occurring because of an inner or physical illness. An example would be a neck injury, where this pain is causing the headache in the individual.

This is the most common type of headache in adults, originating in the forehead or back of the skull. It is caused by stress and tension in the person and muscles, exuding a dull ache or pounding in the head of the person.
