Italian term

cervicale

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) headache
This is from a paper describing migraine - diagnosis, symptoms, treatment.

This is from a section where they are describing other similar disorders that should not be confused with migraine.

"Cervicale" - the author seems to have used the inverted commas for a purpose.

Isthere a term for this other than some form of head-neck pain/ache?

Discussion

achisholm (asker) Nov 18, 2012:
No, the text is about migraine and this is a list of disorders that should not be confused with migraine - it includes: trigeminal neuralgia, "cervicale", sinusitis.
Joseph Tein Nov 18, 2012:
"cervicale" refers to? Is there any word at all in the text above the bulleted list which may have "cervicale" as its adjective? (Although you've probably thought of that already ....)
achisholm (asker) Nov 18, 2012:
Later in the text it states: "E pensare che la Classificazione Internazionale delle Cefalee non solo non la prevede ma addirittura esclude che la “cervicale” sia causa di per sè di alcun tipo di cefalea!"
achisholm (asker) Nov 18, 2012:
That is it Its a bullet pint list of disorders that should not be confused with migraine
Ellen Kraus Nov 18, 2012:
It would not only be desirable to see the phrase in which this term is used but also be more helpful for recommending a more adequate answer..
Joseph Tein Nov 18, 2012:
You forgot the source text! ... how about posting the whole sentence?

neck pain/pain in the neck/cervicalgia

http://www.southeasternspine.com/procedures-treatments/cervi...

you could put 'pain in the neck' in inverted commas, using the leyman's term as in the source text , or cervicalgia, without inverted commas, as this is the correct medical term

the term describes neck pain in a familiar way, but it isn't yet a diagnosis
Peer comment(s):

agree Anne Schulz : To be honest, I don't know the Italian use, but "cervical syndrome" is what would be expected from the context.

stiff neck

In my experience, this is sometimes what people mean by "cervicale" - it's an informal expression rather than a formal medical condition, which is maybe why it's enclosed in quotes.

• ***La “cervicale”: è forse la diceria più frequente. E pensare che la Classificazione Internazionale delle Cefalee non solo non la prevede ma addirittura esclude che la “cervicale” sia causa di per sè di alcun tipo di cefalea! Piuttosto occorre sapere che l’emicrania può nascere dal collo o può estendersi al collo senza che questo voglia dire assolutamente nulla sullo stato delle articolazioni e dei muscoli cervicali. Spesso il dolore cervicale in corso di emicrania è solo un dolore “riferito”, nè più nè meno del dolore al braccio sinistro che può comparire nell’infarto miocardico****.
• La “sinusite”: altra favola dura a morire. Un po’ di chiarezza 1) la sinusite cronica non da mai cefalea; 2) la cefalea in corso di sinusite acuta deve essere associata a secrezione nasale muco-purulente, rinite, febbre e sintomi di infezione. Questo vuol dire che cefalee da patologie dei seni paranasali sono molto rare.

Cervical headaches
Pain from the cervical region (arising from periosteum, ligaments, nerve irritation, or reflex muscle spasm) is usually felt over the neck and occiput, but can be referred around the temples and even into the frontal region. In a person with a history of neck trauma or with symptoms or signs of cervical root or cord compression, cervical imaging with MR or a CT scan must be obtained to rule out a condition that might result in cord compression, such as fracture or dislocation. Cervical spine x-rays with lateral views in flexion and extension are useful to detect excessive mobility of the spine.

What is a Cervical Headache?

Cervical headaches or cervicogenic headaches are headaches caused by abnormalities in the cervical (neck and head) region, the cause is variable as described above. The mechanism of production of the headache is also variable. It can be referred from the upper cervical nerve roots, segments of the cervical spine which can irritate some of the sensory nerves. Headaches can be caused by trigger points in the neck muscles and head muscles.
