'a headache' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'over in paris it is uni study which' is the wordplay.
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'sitisunis' can be found hidden inside 'paris it is uni study which'.
'sitisunis' reversed gives 'SINUSITIS'.

'causes' is the link.
