There are several different types of headaches, and migraines are often confused as one and the same thing, but there are some that are worse than others.

The most painful type of a headache is known as a cluster headache and nicknamed the Suicide Headache. According to The Migraine Trust, it is estimated that 1-2 in 1000 people suffer from this type of debilitating head pain.1 A cluster headache is characterized by these symptoms:

  • Rapid onset in 5-10 minutes to full intensity and lasting typically 30-60 minutes
  • Pain in the face/temple area that is one-sided
  • Severe pain behind one eye that may cause tears
  • Alcohol is a common trigger

Anyone with cluster headaches can attest to how bad they can affect daily living. NFL football player Terrance Knighton (aka Pot Roast) describes them as living in a personal hell. You have to be tough to play nose tackle in the NFL like Knighton does, but even this 355-pound man says, On a scale of one to 10, the pain is a 50. Recently, he was affected so badly, he missed a key game in November. He has been to 20-30 doctors since the headaches began in the 5th grade, and he hopes for a cure to come soon.
