For example, loud noises trigger headaches in the patient. Therefore, we can say that the jobsite’s ambience be a cause of some of the patient’s migraines (imagine the patient who works in a foundry or somewhere else with loud noise). Environmental factors such as pollution and job hazards will also be taken into account, as well as psychological factors like anger, personality, and stress levels. Furthermore,
