A 22 year old female has head pain that has been constant for 2 days. The patient states she has had this type of headache before, but never this severe. She states the pain as “9 out of 10” on a pain scale, but is not the worst headache she has ever had. But, she states it has lasted longer than any in the past and is increased by physical activity. She complains of nausea and photophobia. She denies any recent head trauma or injury. What type of headache would you suspect this patient may be experiencing? Discuss the symptoms she describes and what is the potential cause? Discuss pain in general and describe the process of pain transduction, transmission, and perception. Relate these concepts to the patient case.
