DOES HEADACHE PAIN START INSIDE THE BRAIN ?
No, the origin of most headache and migraine pain is extracranial, or outside the brain, and has to do with the various muscles, nerves, and blood vessels involving the neck, face, and scalp. It is very rare that headache pain begins inside the brain. The vast majority of all headache pain is extracranial and is rooted in the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels of the scalp, as well as the face and neck (less than one percent of individuals who seek help for the relief of headache pain are found to have brain tumors).
