Anamnesis

A 27-year-old female reports experiencing mild, pressing, bilateral pain in the frontal and occipital regions, lasting between 3 to 5 hours. These episodes occur approximately twice a month, typically following prolonged periods of reading. She denies experiencing nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, or any exacerbation with physical exertion. Neurological and head and neck examinations are unremarkable. A cranial CT scan is normal.
