Below I will explain in short what the definition is of each headache:

1) Cervicogenic headaches

    This headache originates from the cervical spine localized to the Occiput (base     of scull) and the neck

2) Cluster headaches

    This form of headache is a recurrent brief attaches of sudden head pain, usually     only on the one side.

3) Migranes

    This is a recurring head pain due to changes in the brain and surrounding     vasculature. This is one of the most common types of headaches seen in     doctors' offices    

4) Pathological headaches

    These are types of headaches with potentially life-threatening origins, there is     an estimate that only 1/300 severe headaches are pathological - don't stress     too quickly.

5)Tension headaches

    These are a type of headache that feels like a tight "band" around the head, and     they are normally from a muscle origin.
