Disappointing. Symptoms listed are also those of migraine, and there is no mention of the effect of cervicogenic headache on a migraineur... they can trigger migraine. A good link for the Headache pages, but not for the Migraine pages.
I thought this was a very educational article that compares the pain of a migraine with the pain of the cervicogenic headache. I also like the fact that it gave an easy to understand definition of exactly what a cervicogenic headache is along with the most common symptoms. Many of the symptoms of migraines and cervicogenic headaches are the same, but the main difference is that the neck area is also affected with the cervicogenic headache. There are also some excellent links on the left side of the article for more information. This article was very easy to understand and provided some basic, yet valuable information.
