Symptoms Can Include:
- Sharp, stabbing pain focused in the forehead
Relationship to Body Structure and Behavior:
- Not neuropathic
- Related to excessive fixation of eyes to a screen with forward leaning posture
- While posterior cervical muscles are holding head in positions, anterior cervical muscles are in prolonged contraction
- With cold stimuli (cold water or ice-cream) on pharyngeal wall, the affected anterior cervical muscles will have spasm/cramps
- Stress response to the pain will cause more spasm/cramps of the muscles
Suggestions for Prevention:
Make several big nods to alternate the contraction pattern of the muscles
