Abstract

Otorhinolaryngologists are the first to receive numerous patients with headaches related to ear, nose, and throat (ENT) diseases. An otorhinolaryngologist frequently manages headaches unrelieved by a consultation practitioner with a general. Hence, it is natural that the etiology and treatments of headaches and ENT diseases have become the otorhinolaryngologist's concern. Approximately 47% of all US adults have experienced headaches or migraines in the past year. The most common type of headache is a tension-type headache. The second most common headache is reported as a primary headache, including migraine, tension type headache, and cluster headache. According to the International classification of headache disorders, primary headaches, which are intrinsic and not caused by any other medical condition, and secondary headaches, which are symptomatic and arise from different illnesses or conditions, are related to otorhinolaryngology. Generally, primary headaches are more common than secondary ones. Migraines, tension-type headaches, and cluster headaches are common in this classification. Future research should primarily focus on the direction of the individually adapted treatment of the different headache entities with a special interest in comparing three arms per sub-entity: the placebo group as usual, the standard of treatment drug group, and a third arm with a substance of interest.
