Abstract

Many migraine patients complain about pain in the temple during an attack. Some patients with temple pain can actually point to a specific spot of maximum pain. Other patients, however, will, when asked where exactly the pain is during their attacks, point to several different spots or delineate varying anatomical areas (Fig. 12.1).
