Overview
What is a Headache?
A headache is a pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. It can range from mild to severe and may occur on one or both sides of the head. Headaches are among the most common neurological complaints that can significantly impact daily life. While many headaches are harmless and occasional, some may signal underlying neurological conditions requiring medical attention.
