Headache is a very common symptom in daily life, and people will basically encounter headache problems in their lives. As the saying goes, "the patient has a headache, the doctor's head hurts more", which shows that headache treatment is still very tricky. Because there are too many causes of headaches, but according to the causes of headaches, the second edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders formulated by the International Headache Association in 2004 divides headaches into three categories: (1) primary headaches, including migraines, tension headaches, cluster headaches, etc.; (2) secondary headaches, including head and neck trauma, cranial and cervical vascular factors, intracranial non-vascular diseases, infections, drug withdrawal, psychiatric factors and other causes of headaches; (3) cranial neuralgia, central and primary facial pain, Headaches due to other facial structural lesions and other types of headaches.
In the theory of Traditional Chinese medicine, headaches are divided into two categories: external sensation and internal injury, and external headaches are mainly based on wind and evil, mixed with cold, wet, summer, dry, fire, etc., while internal injury headaches are mostly related to the dysfunction of the liver, spleen and kidney organs. External headaches are mostly due to careless living and feeling external evils, while internal injuries and headaches are often related to food injury, fatigue, lack of mood, and unconventional intercourse. As for the location of the headache, it can occur on the forehead, temporal, peak, occipital or full head, and the duration of pain can be long or short, or even long-term pain. Whether it is for external headaches or internal injuries, acupuncture or massage acupuncture points have a good pain relief effect.
