Headache & Migraine

Headaches can be dull and throbbing or sharp and pinpointed, and can last for a few minutes or a few days. There are three main types of headaches: tension, migraine and cluster headaches. Each may have its own causes and symptoms. Migraine headaches differ from tension headaches in that the symptoms are usually restricted to one side of the head, and may be described as throbbing, moderate to severe pain.

CLUSTER HEADACHES – GENDER DIFFERENCES AND TREATMENT

Both men and women experience headaches. However, certain types of headaches may be more common in one sex than in the other. Cluster headaches are a good example – men are about six times more likely to have cluster headaches than women.3

What is a cluster headache?

Cluster headaches tend to occur in clusters at the same time of day or night for several weeks or months, followed by a period of time during which there are no attacks.3,4

The symptoms of a cluster headache are severe and may last from 15 minutes to 3 hours.

Woman experiencing headache

The pain is usually isolated to one side of the head, behind and around the eye. Additional symptoms may include red, watery eyes and a blocked or runny nose that only affect the painful side.3,4

Cluster headaches: men versus women

Some known causes include smoking and drinking alcohol, though it is not known whether these triggers differ significantly for men and women. Cluster headaches may also have a genetic factor. A family history of cluster headaches may increase the risk of attacks and play a role in their frequency.4,46

Symptoms and onset are also slightly different in men than in women.47

  • Women tend to have two cluster headache development peaks in their lifetime – in their teens and their 40s. 
  • Men, on the other hand, usually have only one cluster headache development peak – in their 20s. 
  • Both men and women have an average of three cluster headaches per day. Women, however, experience shorter periods of symptoms than men.

Despite these differences, treatment to relieve cluster headaches is the same for both sexes. This might range from taking painkillers, including paracetamol such as Panadol, to taking prescription drugs and the use of oxygen therapy.3,4
