Classifications of Headache
The most recent classification of headaches by the International Headache Society is the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 (ICHD-3), published in 2013, which uses numeric codes.
7
Primary headaches are part 1 (groups 1–4). Sec­ondary headaches are part 2 (groups 5–12). Part 3 (groups 13–14) includes the cranial neuralgias, and central and primary facial pain. The primary head­aches are migraines, tension-type, cluster and tri­geminal autonomic cephalgias.
The National Institute of Neurological Dis­ordersand Stroke (NINDS)of the National Institute of Health (NIH) classification of headaches desig­nates four categories of headaches: vascular, muscle contraction (tension), traction and inflammatory.
15
Pathophysiology of Headaches
There are only a few structures in the cranium that are capable of generating painful stimuli including the dura at the base of the skull (basal
dura), vessels (major arteries at the base of the brain, dural arteries, venous sinuses and their branches, extracranial blood vessels) and extracra­nial structures (skin, mucosa, muscles, fascial planes, blood vessels, nerves). Structures incap­able of producing pain are the brain parenchyma, subarachnoid, pia mater and most of the dura.
2
(Figure 35.1)
Pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for headache pain effect are (1) intra- or extra-cranial arteries undergoing distention, traction, or dilata­tion; (2) dura or large intracranial veins undergo­ing traction or displacement, (3) cranial or spinal nerves undergoing compression, traction or inflammation; (4) head and neck undergoing muscle spasm, inflammation or traction; (5) men­ingeal irritation; (6) increased intracranial pres­sure; and (7) disturbance of intracerebral serotonergic projections
2,16
Tension, presumed to be the key factor causing tension headaches, pertains to the muscle contraction of the head and/or neck. Traction results from the stretching of intracranial structures from a mass effect – as caused by a hematoma, tumor, abscess or other intracranial mass – and is typically a constant pain of variable severity. Inflammation arising from the basal dura, the head/neck soft tissues or the nerves is the pathologic process accounting for the pain from sinusitis, mastoiditis, meningitis

(initial pain), and SAH (initial pain). Dilatation or distention of vessels has been suggested as the pathophysiologic mechanism behind vascular headache pain, which characteristica lly causes a throbbing pain, and is presumed responsible for the headache from severe hypertension and migraines,
2
although more recent data suggests other additional mechanisms. Moreover, any given headache may involve one or any permuta­tion of these various mechanisms.
Pathophysiology of Migraines
Theories on the Pathogenesis of Migraine Headaches
The vascular or vasogenic theory, an early hypoth­esis, ascribed the aura of the migraine to intra­cranial vasoconstriction, followed by rebound dilatation of the blood vessels, which activates the perivascular nocioceptive neurons and causes the headache.
17
More recently, the central neural or neurovascular hypothesis is that neural dysfunc­tion occurs first and is followed by the vascular changes. Neural events triggered by various stimuli occurring in a genetically susceptible individual precipitate a migraine.
18
Cortical Spreading Depression
The aberrant firing of neurons with ionic changes and the release of neurotransmitters cause abnor­mal activation of the trigeminal/cervical afferents. This likely involves the phenomenon of cortical spreading depression, a short-lasting depolariza­tion wave that moves across the cerebral cortex with a brief excitation phase followed by pro­longed depression of the nerve cells that occurs concurrently with a failure of brain ion homeo­stasis and release of neurotransmitters and metab­olites from the neurons.
2
Increased interstitial potassium and increased glutamate levels with activation of the NMDA receptor leading to an influx of calcium ions and triggering nitrogen oxide synthetase (NOS) activity is believed to precipitate the abnormal neuronal excitability that results in the cortical spreading depression with depressed electrical activity extending to adjacent areas of the cerebral cortex.
19
Both sodium and calcium enter the cells, while potassium and hydrogen ions enter the extracellular space. (Figure 35.2) The initial increasing interstitial potassium decreases the
resting membrane potential and could eliminate the voltage-sensitive Mg2+ block of the NMDA receptor, thus, sensitizing it to glutamate.
19
Cortical spreading depression, thought to be the basis for the aura of migraine headaches, may lead to activation of the trigeminal nerve afferents (trigeminal nocioception) and changes the permeability of the blood -brain barrier via up­regulation and activation of matrix metalloprotei­nases (MMPs).
16
Anatomy
The hallmark of migraines is the activation of the trigeminocervical pain system. Migraine pain is mediated by the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), especially the ophthalmic (V1) branch, and by the upper cervical spinal cord levels (C1 and C2) via the greater occipital nerve.
20
(Figure 35.3)
Activation of the sensory afferents from the trigeminal nerve and the upper cervical spinal cord roots that innervate the dura and facial structures occurs. This input is sent via the tri­geminal ganglion to the trigeminocervical com­plex (TCC) in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. The first-order sensory afferents of the trigeminal nerve and the upper cervical spinal nerves synapse on second -order neurons within the TCC in the spinal cord, then these second-order neurons ascend to the third-order neurons within the thal­amus and other nuclei.

The TCC serves as the critical relay center for the transmission of nocioceptive input to the higher cortical centers where pain is perceived. The TCC extends from the tr igeminal nucleus caudalis in the rostral pons to the upper cervical spinal cord leve ls (C1 and C2). The trigeminotha­lamic tract consists of second-order neurons from the TCC projecting to the thalamus. The ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus (VPM) is the key thalamic relay sending nocioceptive information to the cortical pain matrix. Transmission from the spinal cord goes to the thalamus, at the upper end of the brainstem, via the spinothalamic tract, and from the spinal cord to the sensory cortex via the spinoreticular tract. (Figure 35.4 and Figure 35.5)
The CNS can alter or even abolish pain. Both inhibitory and facilitatory mechanisms can occur with upward and downward modulation.
21
Modu­lation of this nocioceptive information occurs by projections from the periaqueductal grey (PAG), dorsal raphe nucleus (DRG), nucleus raphe magnus (NRM), locus coeruleus (LC) and the hypothalamus. Indeed, lesions in the periaqueduc­tal grey (PAG) or the diencephalic nuclei in the rostral brainstem can precipitate a migraine head­ache. Multiple other second-order neurons from the TCC project to various subcortical sites sug­gesting that this nocioceptive information is trans­mitted to other regions of the brain.
20
(Figure 35.4
and Figure 35.5)
Cellular and Biochemical Basis
It has been proposed that a sterile neurogenically initiated inflammation of the dura mater, char­acterized by vasodilatation and plasma protein
extravasation, could be the cause of migraine pain. (Figure 35.6) Neurogenic plasma extrava­sation does occur with electrical stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion and can be blocked by various drugs, such as sumatriptan, the ergot alkaloids and indomethacin.
19
Structural alter­ations in the dura occur after stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion including mast cell degranulation and platelet aggregation in post­capillary v enules.
22
Neurons contain a variety of neuropeptides and neurotransmitters. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P and neurokinin A are among the substances released when tri­geminal neurons are stimulated.
18,21
Release of these neuropeptides has been linked with sterile neurogenic induced inflammation. (Figure 35.6) Elevated levels of CGRP have been found in migraine patients and a CGRP antagonist has been mentioned as a treatment for migraines.
18
Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to trigger headaches and blockade of NO synthetase (NOS) has been suggested as an abortive treatment for migraine headaches.
21
Drugs that affect the various ion channels, thereby, blocking neuronal transmission may be effective in treating headache pain.
Nocioceptive fibers consist of A-δ fiber neurons and C-fiber neurons. A-δ fibers conduct sharp pain, while C-fiber neurons take longer to respond and are responsible for the dull, aching or throbbing pain.
21,22
Sodium channels are responsible for the neural transmission of most alpha-beta fibers. Sodium channel blockers, for example, the tricyclic antidepressan ts, are used to treat pain. Calcium channels regulate C-fiber and spinal cord neural transmission. Calcium

channel blockers, for example, gabapentin, may be used for pain therapy.
21
Sensitization
Sensitization is the painful perception of an other­wise non-noxious stimuli. Multiple changes are present when sensitization occurs including a decreased response threshold, an increased size or magnitude of response, an expansion of recep­tive fields, and the development of spontaneous neural activity.
23
Migraine symptoms attributed to sensitization include the throbbing quality of the pain; the worsening of the pain with bending, coughing, or sudden movements of the head; hyperalgesia and allodynia. Hyperalgesia is the increased sensitivity to painful stimuli, while allo­dynia refers to the condition in which pain is produced by stimuli that are normally not painful or not noxious. Sensitization may be peripheral or central.
Peripheral sensitization refers to the increased excitability of primary afferent neurons to stimu­lation (usually mechanical). There is the release of proinflammatory vasoactive substances from the peripheral neurons. These proinflammatory substances – such as substance P, neurokinin A, nitric oxide (NO) and CGRP – interact with the blood vessel wall to cause vasodilatation, protein extravasation and sterile inflammation with mast cell activation and membrane disruption.
21
Stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion leads to release of CGRP, a substance found in increased amounts in patients with acute migraines. Second­order neurons are then barraged with an increased number of stronger impulses form the primary afferent neurons. Peripheral sensitization may involve changes in ion channels, release of neuro­peptides and neurotransmitters, and increased per­ipheral nocioceptor receptivity.
22,23
Central sensitization refers to the increased sensitivity or responsiveness of second order neurons in the TCC and higher order neurons in the CNS to mild stimuli that previously did not activate them. This may occur by increased sensitivity of higher order neurons or via disin­hibition of descending modulatory pathways. There is evidence that windup or sensitization is present with migraines and that therapy may affect this hypersensitivity as with the ß adrener­gic antagonists or beta blockers, propanolol and atenolol, which inhibit the firing of third-order thalmocortical neurons to dural stimulation and to glutamate injection.
17,21
Central sensitization may be related to abnormal neuronal activity in specific aminergic brainstem nuclei with prosta­glandin and proinflammatory cytokines (such as interleukins [IL] and tumor necrosis factor [TNF] and cyc looxygenase enzymes) initiating and maintaining the central stimulation or a form of disinhibitory sensitization with dysfunction of descending modulatory pathways.

Pathophysiology of Pain
Periphery
When nocioceptive nerve fibers in the periphery (with migraines: the trigeminal nerve, C1 and/or C2) are stimulated, local tissue damage occurs, which includes the release of chemical mediators (histamine, bradykinan, and prostaglandins) and activation of mast cells, which produces an inflammatory soup.
21
This causes capillary leak­age with plasma protein extravasation, platelet aggregation and the release of serotonin. Mast cell leukotrienes produce superoxides, which stimulate additional inflammatory cells. This inflammatory milieu initiates neuronal activity. In addition to these mediators, the cells release ions (e.g., potas­sium and hydrogen), cytokines and growth factors. The cations and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are direct stimulants of the nerve. These substances (e.g., bradykinin, prostaglandin E
2
, nerve growth factor) sensitize the neuron so that lower levels of input, previously subthreshold, now cause acti­vation of the peripheral neuron with the result being peripheral sensitization. Activation of the nocioceptive fibers releases neuropeptides (e.g., CGRP) that foster additional vasodilatation,
edema, and inflammation (see also pathohysiology section in seizure chapter on ion channels and on action potentials).
21–25
(Figure 35.6)
Spinal Cord and Dorsal Root Ganglion
When depolarization and conduction along the pain fibers occurs, excitatory amino acids (e.g., glutamate and aspartate) and neuropeptides (e.g., substance P) are released at the synaptic junction in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). When the action potential reaches the DRG, glutatmate (an excitatory neurotransmitter) and substance P (a neuropeptide) are released. Glutamate stimu­lates the AMPA receptors. Activation of the N­methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor occurs via removal of the magnesium from the NMDA recep­tor by glutamate and substance P. Intracellular calcium release occurs as a result of NMDA acti­vation, which in turn, stimulates nitric oxide (NO) and protein kinase C. The inhibitory neurotrans­mitters, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine, block the excitatory neurotransmitters, glutamate and AMPA. NMDA antagonists, such as ketamine, may decrease the pain response by blocking the NMDA receptor. NMDA receptors are widespread throughout the CNS. (Figure 35.7)

21:05:09
Central Nervous System
Facilitation of pain sensation is induced by glu­tamate, serotonin and norepinephrine; inhib­itionofpainoccurswithGABA,glycine,and endorphins. There are mu receptors throughout the CNS: in the cortex, thalamus, spinal cord, and in the DRG. Mu receptors are generally quiescent until stimulated by painful input.
21
It may be that th ese mu rece ptors are involved in headache pain. The maladaptive pain of migraine and other primary headache disorders may be due to an imbalance between the facili­tory and inhibitory systems, whereby the facili­tory system dominates the inhibitory system, thereby, allowing normally nonpainful stimuli from the trigeminal nerve , C1 and/or C2 to cause pain.
21
(Figure 35.5)
Other Research
Decreased GABA levels in the brain may be a factor in the neuronal hyperexcitability or lack of inhibitory control.
24
Increased levels of CGRP, a potent vasodilator released from tri­geminal ganglia neurons, are found in migrai­ners and are normalized when sumatriptan is administered, which may be a mechanism of action of this drug.
The tricyclic antidepressants, which block serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) reup­take, are efficacious prophylactic drugs for migraines. Serotonin is released from brainstem serotonergic nuclei. This suggests that serotonin may be involved.
21
Possible mechanisms include low serotonin levels causing a lessening of the serotonin descending pain inhibitory system, an effect on cranial vessels or on central pain path­ways or by an effect on the brainstem nuclei.
Nitric oxide as a proinflammatory mediator could lead to sensitization. cGMP, a second mes­senger of NO, is increased in the platelets of migrainers.
24
Abnormal iron homeostasis with increased iron deposits in the PAG has been found in migrainers and those with chronic daily headaches.
24
Investigations into the genetics of migraine headaches suggests that some migraine headaches, or at least the aura, may be secondary to a channelopathy with a mutation in a voltage gated calcium channel causing an abnormal elec­trochemical gradient for Na+ with a build-up of the excitatory transmitter glutamate or a muta­tion in the sodium chan nel gene.
18
(Figure 35.2)
Pathophysiology Summary
Some of the possible pathophysiologic mechan­isms responsible for migraine headaches are the activation of the trigeminovascular system, whether by cortical spreading depression or other mechanisms; brain stem (particularly, thalamus) activation, windup or sensitization (whether cen­tral or peripheral, or both); the electrophysio­logical and ion changes in the brain; and the neurogenic inflammation leading to neuronal hyperexcitability or a dyshabituation.
Patient Selection
Patients who need further diagnostic evaluation with the goal of ruling out a serious or life­threatening basis for their headache are appropri­ate candidates for an observation stay. Individuals who need additional pain management of their headache can be successfully treated in an obser­vation unit (OU). Since most headache patients have tried oral and/or subcutaneous medications prior to their arrival in the ED, parenteral medi­cations are generally warranted.
2
Additionally, if the headache diagnosis is known, the specific drugs or therapy of choice may be administered, such as oxygen for cluster headaches.
Patients inappropriate for an observation stay include those with a serious or dangerous cause of their headache. Thus, patient exclusion criteria include: increased intracranial pressure from any cause (tumor, hydrocephalus, etc.), intracranial bleed (e.g., subdural hematoma, epidural hema­toma, intracerebral bleed, subarachnoid hemor­rhage), acute/subacute stroke and acute CNS infection (e.g., acute encephalitis, brain abscess, epidural abscess). Bacterial meningitis is not appropriate for an OU. However, some observa­tion protocols might allow inclusion of a patient with an uncomplicated viral meningitis patient, who has no acute focal neurologic deficits, a normal mental status and stable vital signs.
Exclusion criteria include an abnormal CT scan with a lesion needing immediate surgical intervention, hypertensive crisis (although hyper­tensive urgency is acceptable for observation) and patients w ith characteristics of high-risk head­aches. Attributes of a high-risk headache include an acute alteration in mental status, co-existing seizures and headache (in a patient without a history of epilepsy), nuchal rigidity, acute visual loss (may be acute glaucoma or a stroke), new

focal neurologic deficit, abnormal pupils (unequal [if not congenital] and/or sluggishly reactive), apnea or abnormal respiratory pattern, signifi­cantly abnormal vital signs (bradycardia and hypertension suggestive of Cushings reflex), and other significant comorbidity, such as AIDS.
Patients with unstable vital signs, an altered mental status or acute psychiatric issues also should not be placed into observation. Patients unlikely to improve and be ready for discharge within < 24 hours should be considered for inpa­tient admission.
Observation Unit Management
The history is the most critical part of the assess­ment of a patient with a headache. Important data to obtain include the onset (acute thunderclap or gradual), duration, location, type or quality (dull throbbing, sharp lancina ting, band-like, etc.) of the pain; precipitating and/or relieving factors; headache pattern; associated symptoms (nausea, vomiting, cough, myalgias, rashes, fever, chills, altered mental status, photophobia) and any history of trauma. Medications (whether prescribed, over-the-counter or illicit) and the pattern of use (initiation, discontinuation/with­drawal, tapering) should be noted since drug­related headaches are common. Allergies should be asked in view of medications for treatment and possible allergic reactions. Social history should include drug, alcohol and tobacco use, and diet (caffeine use, fasting).
Features of the physical examination that should be assessed are: vital signs; mental status; neurologic examination; head/neck/ENT examin­ation including whether a supple or stiff neck; presence of tenderness over the temporal artery, sinuses, mastoid or temporomandibular joint; the skin for rashes or petechiae; the lungs, cardiovas­cular and abdominal examination.
Laboratory and radiologic studies depend on the results of the focused history and physical examination. If temporal arteritis is suspected, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) should be drawn. A complete blood count may be useful if infection is a possibility. In women of child­bearing age, a pregnancy test is generally indi­cated, and may be useful when deciding on drug therapy. Moreover, the differential of head­ache in the pregnant and peripartum woman includes additional unusual etiologies including
pre-eclampsia/eclampsia and cavernous sinus thrombosis. A lumbar puncture (LP) may be diagnostic if SAH, meningitis or pseudotumor cerebri is present. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is warranted in order to diagnosis men­ingitis and perhaps, SAH. Radiology studies are based on the history and physical examination and may include CT scan, CT angiography, ultra­sound and MRI/MRA.
Specific Therapy
Specific treatment for the underlying cause may begin in the OU. For hypertensive urgency, con­trol of the blood pressure should lessen or even eliminate the headache. Steroids, specifically oral prednisone, along with scheduling a temporal artery biopsy are the treatment of choice for tem­poral arteritis. A LP is both diagnostic and thera­peutic with removal of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for pseudo tumor cerebri. Intravenous (IV) caf­feine and, sometimes, a blood patch are the sug­gested therapy for a spinal headache. Headache secondary to ophthalmologic disorders, such as acute angle glaucoma or iritis, need appropriate urgent treatment. Headache due to a non-life­threatening infection should improve with treat­ment of the underlying infection. The most common cause of headaches is reported to be systemic infection.
3
According to one study, sys­temic infection was the etiology of headache in up to 40% of patients presenting to the ED.
25
For trigeminal neuralgia, carbamazepine is the drug of choice. Oxygen is effective in about 70% of patients with a cluster headache. One medication, meperidine, should probably be avoided since it is less effective with a higher incidence of side effects than other drugs.
2
A decision on the need for preventive treatment of migraines and if so, what medications, often in conjunction with the neurologist or primary care physician, can be made while the patient is in the OU.
Pharmacologic Management
Given the myriad etiologies of headache, there is no one panacea or approach. However, several drugs have efficacy for the common primary headaches: tension-type and migraines. Since patients with migraines frequently have nausea and/or vomiting and poor po intake prior to their arrival in the ED, management generally includes IV anti-emetics to treat the nausea/vomiting and

IV rehydration for treatment of dehydration and for maintenance fluids.
Opioids are still used occasionally to treat acute episodic headaches in the ED and apprehen­sion regarding addiction has not proven to be a valid concern in those with an acute headache.
2
However, because of their minimal success rate and the high headache reoccurrence rate, the indi­cations for their use have declined and experts are now recommending that they be used for acute therapy of headaches only when other medica­tions have failed or are contraindicated.
2
Indeed, in conjunction with the headache/neurology spe­cialists, some OU protocols have eliminated opioids as standard therapy in their headache protocols (as we have in our headache treatment protocol for primary headaches). (See Headache, in the clinical protocol Chapter 82.) Similarly, for
chronic headache pain, opioids are not warranted because daily opioid use can cause rebound head­aches and there is a risk of narcotic abuse in this patient population.
2
(Specific drugs are discussed in the headache protocol in the protocol Chapter 82.)
Summary
Headaches represent the most common neurolo­gic disorder. Headaches are usually benign, but may have a serious, life-threatening etiology. Patients with headaches often seek care in EDs and outpatient facilities. Their management may involve a diagnostic workup to exclude life­threatening disorders and multiple drug therap­ies. The OU can provide cost-effective care with an opportunity for both evaluation and treatment.
