Cluster Headaches can be triggered by a variety of stimuli including hot weather, alcohol use and bright lights.

Perhaps one of the most common reason for a patient visit to an ENT office is for a chronic sinus headache. The most common complaints include nasal congestion, chronic pain or pressure over the face or eyes, no fever, and no purulent drainage. The headaches typically are between the eyes, forehead, cheeks, or all these regions. Other symptoms that may or may not be present, include light and/or noise sensitivity, pain worsening with movement, nausea and/or vomiting, runny nose, and watery eyes. These headaches last ~4-72 hours, with or without antibiotics, and occurs regularly, up to several times a month.

However, the reality is that ~80% of such patients are actually suffering from migraines or some other type of neurologic condition.

There is a common belief among patients and some clinicians, that sinusitis is present and causing a headache whenever there is pain over the sinuses. In this video, we use the International Classification of Headache Disorders Criteria to diagnose sinus headaches by differentiating sinus related headaches from migraines.
