is a type of headache that originates from issues in the cervical spine or neck. The pain is typically felt on one side of the head and may radiate from the back of the neck up to the forehead, temples, and behind the eyes. These headaches often worsen with neck movement and can be accompanied by restricted range of motion, stiffness, and tenderness in the neck.

Cervicalgia, or neck pain, is a common symptom in various headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headaches. Many migraine sufferers report tightness or soreness in their neck before or during an attack, and studies show a strong connection between neck discomfort and the intensity of migraine pain.
