Headache in cerebrovascular disease. A common symptom of stroke.

Headache is a common affliction of humanity. The physician evaluating a patient who happens to have a history of headaches may naturally consider them as part of the disease when formulating a diagnosis, thus attributing undue significance to ordinary functional headaches. This may account for the myths that unruptured aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations cause headache and that migraine can eventually lead to stroke. Sometimes, however, headaches do warn of cerebrovascular disease or occur as part of that disease. The presence of headache may aid in or hinder diagnosis. Clues that a headache may indicate cerebrovascular disease are onset after the age of 35; pain described as "the worst headache ever"; persistent localization and progressive worsening of pain; and risk factors for cerebrovascular disease, such as advancing age, hypertension, bruits, and heart disease.

The physiology of pain: a review.

Pain is a complex physiological phenomenon that begins with the stimulation of free nerve endings in peripheral tissues and culminates in the perception of a physical and psychological state. The pain experience may be facilitated or inhibited through the action of several neurologic circuits which utilize several neurotransmitters. Therapeutic analgesia is achieved either through interference with pain-facilitating mechanisms or enhancement of pain-inhibiting mechanisms; practical applications are reviewed.
