| Abstract: | Background Headache is a common disorder or symptom experienced by every single person at least once in their lifetime. It is the main symptom in a wide variety of diseases, of which ear, nose, and throat contribute only to a small number. Though it may be a mild pain in some patients, headache can also be a serious symptom of various life threatening conditions. Method This is a prospective study of 100 cases in the ENT department whose chief complaints were headache. The patients within the age group of 12 to 72 years were included in the study. Patients below and above this age group, patients with other co morbid, and patients with history of recent head trauma were excluded from this study. A preformed questionnaire was given to these patients and responses of questionnaire were entered into an excel data sheet and the data was analyzed. Result In this study, conducted in a tertiary care hospital, we found headache to be common in the age group of 33 to 42 years of age (30%), and affect females (59%) more than male (41%). Most common cause of headache diagnosed in patients coming to the ENT OPD was sinusitis (37%) diagnosed commonly by taking x- ray paranasal sinuses. Most common triggering factor for headache to be stress (25.6%). We also found the most common relieving factor headache to be medication (39.4%). And some patients (38%) presenting to ENT OPD with complaints of headache had previous history of sinusitis. 70% of people had disturbed sleep because of headache. Conclusion Headache is a major complaint of patients coming to ENT department. Headache can be treated by a general physician if it’s a primary type of headache. Some patients with associated ear, nose, and throat history are usually referred to ENT to look for any secondary etiology for the headache. The treatment of headache must usually be a multidisciplinary approach involving an ENT specialist, ophthalmology, neurology, psychiatry and a general physician, which can be beneficial for the treatment and gives a better outcome for the patient. |
