Hijab (headscarf) headache is well known among wearers and is a common topic of discussion. It has never previously been reported in the medical literature. Five women described bilateral headache either prompted by or worsened by donning the hijab, or headscarf. The headache always resolved soon after removal of the headscarf. Hijab headache may also be alleviated by minimal modifications in style while allowing women to maintain their moral conviction. It likely represents an extracranial etiology of headache, and recognition may prevent unnecessary evaluation and suffering in hijab wearers.
头巾性头痛在佩戴者中广为人知，是一个常见的讨论话题。此前医学文献中从未有过相关报道。五名女性描述了双侧头痛，这种头痛要么是佩戴头巾（即盖头）引发的，要么是佩戴后加重的，而且头痛在取下头巾后总是很快就缓解了。对头巾样式稍作修改也可能缓解头巾性头痛，同时又能让女性保持其道德信仰。它可能代表了一种头痛的颅外病因，认识到这一点可以避免对头巾佩戴者进行不必要的检查和使其遭受痛苦。
