What is Migraine?

Migraine is a complex neurological disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe throbbing or pulsating pain, typically on one side of the head. Migraine attacks can last from hours to days and can significantly impair daily life.

• Tension-Type Headache: Dull, aching pain like a tight band around the forehead or back of head.
• Cluster Headaches: Severe, sharp, piercing pain around one eye with tearing and nasal congestion.
• Trigeminal Neuralgia: Electric shock-like facial pain triggered by chewing, speaking, or touching the face.
• Medication Overuse Headache: Rebound headaches caused by frequent analgesic use.

Symptoms

• Pulsating or throbbing pain, usually unilateral
• Severe sensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia)
• Nausea and vomiting
• Visual aura, flashes of light, or blurred vision
