Which term describes head pain?

• A. Headache
• B. Hypertension
• C. Blood Pressure
• D. Physical Therapy

Answer: (A)

Headache is the term used to describe pain in the head. It literally pairs "head" with "ache," making it the exact label for head pain. In medical language, cephalalgia is the formal term, but everyday usage and test questions typically use headache. The other options refer to things that are not pain in the head: hypertension means high blood pressure, blood pressure is a measurement of that pressure, and physical therapy is a treatment to improve movement or function. Because only headache directly denotes pain located in the head, it is the correct term.
