In this article I will discuss some of the most common causes we have found to be associated with migraines and intractable headaches. Supraorbital Neuralgia Entrapments of the first division of the trigeminal nerve can cause unilateral or bilateral throbbing headaches, often just before menses or triggered by bright lights that cause squinting. Supraorbital neuralgia can be mistaken for frontal sinusitis. It can be caused by trauma to the face such as when the head hits the windshield or after a punch to the face. The headache might not present for many years until the scar cicatrix tightens enough around the nerve to finally cause entrapment.
