There are many causes of forehead pain in women, with migraine being the most common. It can present as a throbbing headache, sometimes accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting. Other symptoms can be relieved by lifestyle modifications and taking certain migraine medications or specific pain relievers. Additionally, in female patients with forehead pain, trigeminal neuralgia should not be ruled out. Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by brief, recurrent episodes of intense pain in the distribution area of the trigeminal nerve.
