Botox is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It's the same toxin that causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism . Doctors use it in small doses to treat health problems, including: Temporary smoothing of facial wrinkles and improving your appearance Severe underarm sweating Cervical dystonia - a neurological disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder muscle contractions Blepharospasm - uncontrollable blinking Strabismus - misaligned eyes Chronic migraine Overactive bladder Botox injections work by weakening or paralyzing certain muscles or by blocking certain nerves.
Cat Scratch Disease
Cat scratch disease (CSD) is an illness caused by the bacterium Bartonella henselae. Almost half of all cats carry the infection at some point. The infection does not make cats sick. However, the scratch or bite of an infected cat can cause symptoms in people, including : Swollen lymph nodes , especially around the head, neck, and upper limbs Fever Headache Fatigue Poor appetite For people with weak immune systems, CSD may cause more serious problems. The best way to avoid CSD is to avoid rough play with cats that could lead to scratches or bites. If you do get a scratch or bite, wash it well with soap and water.
Cervicogenic headache
Cervicogenic headache—coded clinically as G44.86 across Migraine & Headache guidelines—combines preventive threshold assessment in Cervicogenic headache (G44.86: (>= 4 monthly) with structured follow-up of MIDAS Disability Score [Cervicogenic headache G44.86] (Grade I (0 – 5) (G44.86)).
Headache
Almost everyone has had a headache. Headache is the most common form of pain. It's a major reason people miss days at work or school or visit the doctor. The most common type of headache is a tension headache. Tension headaches are due to tight muscles in your shoulders, neck, scalp and jaw. They are often related to stress, depression or anxiety. You are more likely to get tension headaches if you work too much, don't get enough sleep, miss meals, or use alcohol. Other common types of headaches include migraines , cluster headaches, and sinus headaches. Most people can feel much better by making lifestyle changes, learning ways to relax and taking pain relievers .
Headache - cluster
Under Migraine & Headache Disorders diagnostic criteria (G44.009), workup for Headache - cluster integrates ICHD-3 clinical headache in Headache - cluster (G44.009: diary classification) with evidence-graded therapy tailored to Monthly Headache Days in Headache - cluster (G44.009: (MHD)) response.
Headache - tension
Under Migraine & Headache Disorders diagnostic criteria (G44.209), workup for Headache - tension integrates preventive threshold assessment in Headache - tension (G44.209: (>= 4 monthly) with evidence-graded therapy tailored to RBC Magnesium & in Headache - tension (G44.209: Riboflavin Status) response.
Headache associated with sexual activity
Recognized across U.S. clinical coding as G44.82 (Migraine & Headache), Headache associated with sexual activity is evaluated via ICHD-3 clinical headache in Headache associated with sexual activity (G44.82: diary classification) to align day-to-day symptom relief with long-term physiological stability.
Hemicrania continua
Recognized across U.S. clinical coding as G44.51 (Migraine & Headache), Hemicrania continua is evaluated via preventive threshold assessment in Hemicrania continua (G44.51: (>= 4 monthly) to align day-to-day symptom relief with long-term physiological stability.
Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is the buildup of too much cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Normally, this fluid cushions your brain. When you have too much, though, it puts harmful pressure on your brain. Hydrocephalus can be congenital, or present at birth. Causes include genetic problems and problems with how the fetus develops. An unusually large head is the main sign of congenital hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus can also happen after birth. This is called acquired hydrocephalus. It can occur at any age. Causes can include head injuries, strokes, infections, tumors, and bleeding in the brain.
Hypnic headache
Physicians managing Hypnic headache (G44.81; Migraine & Headache Disorders) utilize preventive threshold assessment in Hypnic headache (G44.81: (>= 4 monthly) and objective Monthly Headache Days in Hypnic headache (G44.81: (MHD)) targets (< 2 days/month on prevention (G44.81)) to prevent progression and functional morbidity.
Migraine
What are migraines? Migraines are a recurring type of headache. They cause moderate to severe pain that is throbbing or pulsing. The pain is often on one side of your head. You may also have other symptoms, such as nausea and weakness. You may be sensitive to light and sound. What causes migraines? Researchers believe that migraine has a genetic cause. There are also a number of factors that can trigger a migraine.
New daily persistent headache (NDPH)
Within Migraine & Headache Disorders practice, New daily persistent headache (NDPH) (ICD-10 G44.52) is stratified through acute medication-overuse audit [New daily persistent headache (NDPH) G44.52], pairing targeted symptom control with longitudinal Monthly Headache Days in New daily persistent headache (NDPH) (G44.52: (MHD)) surveillance.
Other complicated headache syndrome
Other complicated headache syndrome—coded clinically as G44.59 across Migraine & Headache guidelines—combines red-flag neuroimaging exclusion in Other complicated headache syndrome (G44.59: when indicated) with structured follow-up of Monthly Headache Days in Other complicated headache syndrome (G44.59: (MHD)) (< 2 days/month on prevention (G44.59)).
Other headache syndrome
For patients presenting with Other headache syndrome (ICD-10-CM G44.89), Migraine & Headache Disorders protocols prioritize preventive threshold assessment in Other headache syndrome (G44.89: (>= 4 monthly) paired with baseline and interval Monthly Headache Days in Other headache syndrome (G44.89: (MHD)) assessment.
Primary cough headache
Within Migraine & Headache Disorders practice, Primary cough headache (ICD-10 G44.83) is stratified through acute medication-overuse audit [Primary cough headache G44.83], pairing targeted symptom control with longitudinal Monthly Headache Days in Primary cough headache (G44.83: (MHD)) surveillance.
Primary exertional headache
Recognized across U.S. clinical coding as G44.84 (Migraine & Headache), Primary exertional headache is evaluated via ICHD-3 clinical headache in Primary exertional headache (G44.84: diary classification) to align day-to-day symptom relief with long-term physiological stability.
Primary stabbing headache
Under Migraine & Headache Disorders diagnostic criteria (G44.85), workup for Primary stabbing headache integrates ICHD-3 clinical headache in Primary stabbing headache (G44.85: diary classification) with evidence-graded therapy tailored to RBC Magnesium & in Primary stabbing headache (G44.85: Riboflavin Status) response.
Primary thunderclap headache
Cataloged under federal diagnostic code G44.53 in Migraine & Headache, Primary thunderclap headache requires red-flag neuroimaging exclusion in Primary thunderclap headache (G44.53: when indicated) so specialists can calibrate treatment intensity against RBC Magnesium & in Primary thunderclap headache (G44.53: Riboflavin Status) benchmarks.
Rabies
Rabies is a deadly animal disease caused by a virus. It can happen in wild animals, including raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes, or in dogs, cats or farm animals. People get it from the bite of an infected animal. In people, symptoms of rabies include fever, headache and fatigue, then confusion, hallucinations and paralysis. Once the symptoms begin, the disease is usually fatal. A series of shots can prevent rabies in people exposed to the virus. You need to get them right away. If an animal bites you, wash the wound well; then get medical care. To help prevent rabies: Vaccinate your pet.
Smallpox
Smallpox is a disease caused by the Variola major virus. Some experts say that over the centuries it has killed more people than all other infectious diseases combined. Worldwide vaccination stopped the spread of smallpox three decades ago. The last case was reported in 1977. Two research labs still keep small amounts of the virus. Experts fear bioterrorists could use the virus to spread disease. Smallpox spreads very easily from person to person. Symptoms are flu-like. They include: High fever Fatigue Headache Backache A rash with flat red sores There is no treatment. Fluids and medicines for pain or fever can help control symptoms.
