Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Could you please explain what vascular neurogenic headache is?Doctor's answer:
Vasculoneural headache is mostly related to stress, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, overtime work, poor rest, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and drinking strong tea. The main pathological cause is cerebral vasospasm, which leads to poor blood supply within the vessels and results in recurrent head pain. In acute phase treatment, the first choice is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, along with vasodilator medications. At the same time, regular rest should be maintained to ensure a calm mood and reduce immune function, which helps in the complete recovery of the condition.
