Introduction: Headache is one of the most common neurological disorders and the most frequent symptom among other nervous system disorders. One type of headache pain, secondary headache, can be caused by cranial vascular abnormalities, including hemorrhage stroke. Headache symptoms experienced by hemorrhage stroke patients may vary and are subjective. Therefore, in this study, NIHSS indicates the severity of hemorrhage stroke patients from mild, moderate, severe, and very severe. Methods: This research is an analytical design using a Chi-Square measurement tool. The samples were collected from hemorrhage stroke patients medical records in the neurology ward (Seruni A) of Dr. Soetomo general hospital. Results: There were 21 patients with 11 female (52,38%) and ten male (47,62%). 11 of 21 patients got headaches 2 hours after the onset. NIHSS scores from all patients ranged from 0 to 25. From this data, we analyzed the presence or absence of headaches in hemorrhage stroke patients against the severity of the NIHSS score with a correlation test. The results of the Chi-Square analysis found no significant correlation between headache and NIHSS score (p=0,487). Conclusion: Not all hemorrhage patients got a headache, and there is no correlation between headache and clinical outcome measured with NIHSS in hemorrhage stroke patients at Dr. Soetomo general hospital, Surabaya, in 2019.
