Which of the following symptoms is associated with stretching of the dura and large blood vessels?

Stretching of the dura mater and large blood vessels is primarily associated with pain. This is because the dura is rich in sensory nerve endings, which can become irritated or stimulated due to stretch, leading to a painful response. Conditions such as headaches, particularly tension-type headaches or migraines, can arise from this stretching.

While dizziness, nausea, and memory loss can be associated with various neurological conditions, they are not directly linked to the mechanical stretching of the dura and blood vessels in the same way that pain is. Dizziness often relates to issues in balance or inner ear function, nausea may stem from gastrointestinal disturbances or central nervous system issues, and memory loss typically involves cognitive functions rather than direct physical irritation of the dura. Thus, pain is the primary and direct symptom associated with the stretching of these structures.
