Even though the brain itself is insensitive to pain, other parts of the skull such as the scalp, face, mouth and throat have pain-sensitive nerve fibers, which can hurt. Headache - or cephalgia - ordinarily is used to describe any sort of pain that would appear in one or several of these sensitive parts of the skull.
Headaches can be split into two types: Primary headaches, to which stress headache, cluster headache and migraine headache belong and which are not associated with any illness; And Secondary headaches which are caused by a disease.
Headaches are the most usual nervous disease. Everyone will suffer from headache at one point in their lifetime, but for 55 million Americans, it is a chronic thing. According to the World Health Organization, one adult in 20 suffers from recurring headaches, with females being more exposed than men.
Headaches can be very seriously handicapping and may be detrimental to the lives of people who experience them. Work ability is lessened for such people, which can negatively affect their economic situation.
The ability to socialize is also reduced as the pain, or the fear thereof, can make people more likely to be upset. Some people who suffer from migraine may even have to consistently pay attention to what they eat, what they see, and last but not least what they smell, as certain strong or unpleasant sensations may trigger pain.
Since headaches are seen as such a common, benign condition, the persons who suffer from them on a constant basis also have to face the incomprehension of their peers. This social barrier may also prevent people from getting medical attention and looking for an appropriate treatment. However before it can be treated, a headache needs to be "identified".
We have already seen that there were two main categories of headache: Primary and Secondary, each subdivided into several different subcategories. Their symptoms may vary as well as their causes and, obviously, the way they can be cured. This is why they should to be effectively identified by a specialist so that you can be given appropriate treatment.
Stress headache, also known as tension headache, is the most typical kind of primary headache and is the cause for nearly ninety percent of headaches. It is generally seen as stress-related or related to muscular and skeletal problems in the area of the neck.
Tension headache is mainly momentary and may last from several minutes to several hours, but may persist for many days in the most severe cases. It is typically described as a strong steady pressure, usually on each side of the head, or spreading around it, sometimes also extending to the neck.
Migraine is relatively different and is reckoned to almost certainly have a genetic cause. Migraines happen when the brain releases painful substances, which spread to the nerves and vessels in the head. Migraine usually occurs on a monthly basis and lasts for a few hours, with corollary symptoms like nausea and intolerance of regular degrees of light and noise.
Cluster headaches usually happen frequently and are short lasting. They are also extremely painful. They happen in clusters of six to twelve weeks and every 1 or 2 years, generally at the same period of the year. The pain is extraordinarily sharp and affects all of the head, generally starting with the eye, and then spreading to the forehead, nose and mouth. It is much less common than other types of headache and mostly affects men.
Headaches are typically treated using over-the-counter pain killers such as aspirin, ibuprofen or paracetamol. A physician may also advise to avoid some typical triggers like noise or some kinds of foods.
Caffeine, Magnesium and Vitamin B2 have also shown to be effective in the treatment of migraine. Drugs however are not cheap and may have undesired side effects, particularly for people who have to use them on a daily basis. This is why you may want to think about other ways of avoiding the various types of headache.
NLP and Hypnosis have indeed proven to be working and will help you to get rid of pain in any part of your body, including the head, as well as trying to be more relaxed at the same time. Stress is a very common cause of headache, and specific hypnotic methods exist to get rid of both stress and headaches in a few seconds.
People who have migraine or cluster headache are generally able to feel the first symptoms before it actually occurs, and may learn self-hypnosis techniques to abort them before they get too painful. Hypnotherapists who understand how handicapping a headache can be have invented these therapeutic techniques.
Hypnotherapy is a drug free modality that will help you find the relief you have been looking for. Headache is a serious affliction with several forms, affecting millions of people worldwide. Learn to overcome it and to relax with the soothing method of self hypnosis.
