Migraine is a specific form of headache that occurs on one side of the head. Migraines occur in attacks and sometimes occur with other complaints (such as sensitivity to light, nausea, and vomiting). Pain can be reduced by medication and the frequency of occurrences can be reduced as well.
Migraine is a special form of headache that occurs as an attack and is usually limited to one side of the head. It may be associated with sensitivity to light and noise, pain in the face, nausea, and vomiting.
Migraine symptoms are common and typically affect women more than men. Patients often complain of a pulsing headache around the temples, forehead, and above the eyes, which is compounded by physical activity. An attack usually lasts for several hours and may be announced by a precursor phase. During the migraine attack, sensitivity to light and noise commonly occurs, but it is also common to appear with nausea and vomiting. Some people experience visual auras such as flickering or motor disturbances. Patients usually find a quiet, dark room to lie down in while they recover.
Treatment of migraines involves taking pain reducing medication (NSAIDs, Paracetamol) or migraine medication (triptans) during a migraine attack. A specialist can prescribe other substances and methods of treatment to prevent or reduce further attacks. Many patients benefit from alternative methods such as acupuncture.
