Occipital headaches are easily confused with migraines and other tension type headaches. They are named for the occipital (pronounced ox-SIP-it-all) nerves at the top of the spine and the occipital bone at the base of the skull. Occipital headaches can cause intense throbbing pain in the back of the skull or head. People who have these headaches can also experience pain behind the eyes.

Occipital headaches occur when the occipital nerves that are located at the top of the spine become irritated and inflamed. This type of headache is categorized as a type of cervicogenic headache because it originates in the neck (cervical part of the spine). When the occipital nerves in the back of the neck become damaged from injury or infection, or pinched off due to arthritis, a condition can develop known as occipital neuralgia. Although research is still being done, many doctors theorize that migraines are more vascular in origin with many biological triggers, whereas occipital headaches are related to nerve irritation.

An occipital headache can sometimes trigger a migraine or tension headache. Because these headaches can have similar symptoms Nemanja Matic Shirt , they can be difficult to differentiate.
