What type of headache is characterized by intense pain near one eye?

Tension
Migraine
Cluster
Sinus

The correct answer is: Cluster

Cluster headaches are characterized by intense pain near one eye, which can be excruciating. These headaches are often described as piercing or burning and are usually unilateral, meaning they affect one side of the head. This specific location of pain is a hallmark characteristic of cluster headaches. Unlike tension headaches which are typically described as dull aching pain or migraines which involve throbbing pain, cluster headaches are known for their severe, localized pain near the eye. Sinus headaches usually present with pain in the forehead or face, and not typically near one eye like cluster headaches.
