• #1 Etiology of ‘Sinus Headache’—Moving the Focus from Rhinology to Neurology. A Systematic Review

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7827425/

  Sinus headache and/or facial pain (SH) is a common complaint encountered by otorhinolaryngologists, neurologists and general practitioners. […] The majority of these publications indicate that migraine and TTH are the most prevalent causes of SH, although most of these studies were conducted in a clinical setting. […] This observation further supports a neurologic etiology of the majority of SH cases. […] According to some authors, SH is the most common misdiagnosis in migraine. […] This review highlights the fact that the majority of studies recognize migraine as the cause of complaints in patients reporting with sinus headache. […] This course of action confirmed that the majority of SH are not caused by sinonasal disorders. […] Data on trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) as an underlying problem in sinus headache patients is limited.

• #1 Migraine vs. Sinus Headaches | American Migraine Foundation

  https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/resource-library/sinus-headaches/

  Migraine is commonly misdiagnosed as a sinus headache. […] Self-diagnosed sinus headache is nearly always migraine (90% of the time). […] Migraine is commonly associated with forehead and facial pressure over the sinuses, nasal congestion and runny nose. […] In the absence of fever, pus from your nose, alteration in smell or foul-smelling breath, you likely have a migraine headache. […] Your diagnosis needs health practitioner confirmation for accuracy and the best treatment. […] A very large population-based study, entitled American Migraine Study II, showed that many people who were diagnosed with migraine thought they had “sinus” headache. […] The most common misdiagnosis was “sinus” headache. […] “True” sinus headache, more properly called rhinosinusitis, is rare and secondary to a viral or bacterial sinus infection characterized by thick, discolored nasal discharge, possibly decreased smell or no smell, facial pain or pressure and commonly fever.

• #1 Migraine vs. Sinus Headache: Symptoms, Causes, and Differences

  https://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/migraine-vs-sinus-headache

  True sinus headaches are caused by sinusitis, which means inflammation of the tissues lining your sinuses spaces in your forehead, cheeks, and nose that are usually filled with air. Colds and allergies are common triggers. Some people have chronic sinusitis, caused by bacterial infections. […] The main link between migraine headaches and true sinus headaches (caused by sinusitis) is their similar symptoms. The best explanation is that migraine affects nerves that connect to your sinuses, as well as your eyes, ears, teeth, and jaw. When these nerves are activated, you can get congestion, a runny nose, and watery eyes, whether the cause is a migraine attack, an allergy, or a sinus infection. […] Some research suggests migraine is more common in people with allergies, which is one cause of sinusitis. It’s possible that problems caused by allergies, such as nasal congestion, inflammation, and disrupted sleep, help trigger migraine attacks in some people. So, treating your allergies might help prevent both migraine and sinus headaches.

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7827425/

  Our review shows that TACs can be responsible for up to 11% of SH cases. […] Migraine and tension-type headache are the most prevalent causes of complaints in patients reporting to a physician for treatment of sinus headache and facial pain. […] Medications effective in migraine and tension-type headache also decrease sinus headache symptoms. Although this finding cannot be treated as diagnosis confirmation, it supports observations that sinus headache is mostly misdiagnosed primary headache. […] Multidisciplinary evaluation of patients with sinus headache should be introduced at an early stage.

• #1 Sinus Headaches: Symptoms, Causes & Relief

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9641-sinus-headaches

  Sinus headaches are a symptom of sinus infections (sinusitis). […] If you have a sinus headache, a viral or bacterial infection in your sinuses may be to blame. […] Sinus headaches stem from sinus infections. Understanding sinus infection risk factors may reduce your risk of sinus headaches. […] Normally, free-flowing mucus carries off intruders before they can make trouble in your sinuses. But sometimes your sinuses reaction to intruders starts a chain reaction that leads to sinus headaches. […] First, your sinuses start making more mucus. Mucus building up in your sinuses creates a place where intruders like bacteria and viruses can settle and grow. […] Sinus headaches happen because you have a sinus infection. […] That depends on what caused you to have sinusitis. For example, viruses cause most sinus infections. When the viral infection clears up, the sinus headache goes away. […] Most sinus headaches go away when sinus infections clear.

  https://www.kaplansinusrelief.com/blog/symptoms-sinus-headache/

  Sinus infections are the most common cause of sinus headaches, also known as sinusitis. When the sinuses become infected by viruses, bacteria, or fungi, they can become inflamed. […] Several factors can contribute to sinus headaches, but the more common causes include: […] Allergic reactions to pollen, dust, pets, or other airborne allergens can cause inflammation in the sinuses. […] Nasal polyps, or other non-cancerous growths in the nasal passages known as nasal polyps can obstruct the sinuses. […] Deviated septums can restrict proper airflow through the nose and cause sinus pressure. […] Environmental factors like air pollution, smoke, sudden changes in weather conditions, and even strong odors can trigger sinus headaches. […] What all of these causes have in common is that they cause a blockage of the sinus drain channels, which creates excessive pressure throughout the sinuses.

• #1 Sinus Headaches and Pain: Causes and Prevention | TYLENOL®

  https://www.tylenol.ca/symptoms/upper-respiratory/sinus-pain-prevention

  Sinus headaches and pain are usually due to irritation or the blockage of the sinuses. Some of the most common causes of a sinus headache include: […] The common cold is the most common cause of sinus headaches. Typically, colds are caused by a virus, such as rhinovirus. If you have a cold, you could develop congestion in your sinuses, which could increase the pressure. As the pressure goes up, you may start to feel facial pain and discomfort, leading to a sinus headache. […] If you suffer from seasonal allergies, which are also called allergic rhinitis, you could develop a sinus headache. Allergic rhinitis can cause congestion to build up in the sinuses, increasing the pressure, which results in a headache. […] You might also have nasal polyps. They are noncancerous growths that may form inside nasal passages and sinuses. Nasal polyps, while they might not cause congestion, take up space in your sinuses. This can increase sinus pressure, leading to a sinus headache. […] If you have a deviated septum, you could develop a sinus headache. A deviated septum encloses the space in your sinuses, causing the pressure to go up. Even if you don’t have congestion, you could still develop a sinus headache.

  Sinus headaches are hard to identify since headache specialists consider true sinus headaches to be fairly rare. […] Recent studies suggest that patients who appear to have sinus headaches frequently have migraines. […] Headaches attributed to acute bacterial rhinosinusitis are a specific, rare diagnosis. […] Chronic rhinosinusitis is one of the most common problems experienced with allergic rhinitis and can occasionally lead to headaches. […] However, it is controversial whether constant blockage of the nasal passages caused by allergic inflammation can lead to chronic headaches. […] Research also supports a link between migraine and allergy, so your physician will consider both migraine headache and sinus headache if you are experiencing headaches and allergic rhinitis.
