How severe is a throbbing headache?
Migraine is the most frequent and debilitating main headache disease in children and adolescents.
It is distinguished by throbbing headaches and is accompanied by symptoms such as photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, vomiting, and movement sensitivity.
There is no extracranial arterial dilatation and relatively minor intracranial artery dilation in spontaneous migraine events seen with magnetic resonance angiography.
Sumatriptan therapy of the episodes resulted in no cerebral vasoconstriction.
Because the throbbing percept rhythm and the arterial pulse rhythm are separate and out of phase with one another, the throbbing headache characteristic of migraine headpain does not represent awareness of one's own arterial pulse.
The throbbing percept of migraine head pain may be caused by a core oscillation in nociceptive processing.
