Various issues in the brain can cause one-sided pain in someone’s head.

The following neurological conditions can be responsible for one-sided headaches:

Occcipital neuralgia: This occurs when the occipital nerves, which run from the top of the spinal cord to the scalp, become damaged or inflamed.

Symptoms include sharp pains in the back of the head and neck and sensitivity to light, writes Medical News.

Temporal arteritis: Arteries in the head and neck become inflamed with temporal arteritis. Along with muscle pain, it causes a severe headache on the side of the head.

Other symptoms include fatigue, jaw pain and tender temples.

Trigeminal neuralgia: This causes severe pain in the face and head. The pain usually affects only one side at a time. It is caused by a disruption of the trigeminal nerve at the base of the brain.
