| Description |
The initiation of trigeminal and upper cervical nociceptive neurons in secondary headache syndromes is relatively well understood, and may occur by a variety of mechanisms: 1. Mechanical traction (e.g., tumors, vascular malformations). 2. Chemical activation (e.g., subarachnoid hemorrhage, purulent infections). 3. Inflammatory activation (e.g. autoimmune vasculitis). 4. Direct injury (e.g., head trauma, intracranial surgery). 5. Exposure to or withdrawal from toxins (e.g., nitroglycerine, caffeine). 6. Metabolic disturbances (e.g., hypoglycemia). |
