If you have any type of headache you have abnormal function in a part of the brain stem called the trigeminal complex (TC). In fact all pain in the head including even pain from a bad tooth or TMJ pain is related to this system. The TC attaches through nerves to the forehead, the checks, the jaw and the base of the skull. It also connects to the blood vessels inside the brain. The distribution of the nerves running from the TC throughout the head explains why you may have pain behind your eye, pressure in your face, muscle spasms at the base of your skull and other associated symptoms with your headache. The TC is located in the brainstem very near another nerve complex called the vagal nuclei. This controls the GI track and is connected to the TC. This connection is why many patients with severe headaches also get nauseated. As if this is not complicated enough, all these nerve connections are associated with chemicals called neurotransmitters. There are hundreds of different chemical interactions that also occur in the TC. That is why testing for neurotransmitter levels in headache patients is so important. This can be done with a simple urine test. Comprehensive headache care is what we are all about. Check out the information in following pages and see for yourself.
