A '''vascular headache''' is an outdated term to describe certain types of [[headache]] which were thought to be related to [[blood vessel]] swelling and [[hyperemia]] as cause of the [[pain]].
It is not longer a recognized term and not mentioned in the Headache classification of the International Headache society (IHS), although it is still used by some physicians and still mentioned in some medical classification systems.
Headaches that were described as being vascular headaches include:
*[[Cluster headache]]
*[[Migraine]]
*[[Toxic headache]]
