Migraine

Migraine is a neurological condition that causes recurring attacks of moderate to severe headache. The pain may be throbbing or pulsating and can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to light or sound.

Some people experience migraine with aura, where temporary visual, sensory, or speech changes occur before or during an attack. Treatment depends on the frequency and severity of attacks, symptoms, triggers, other health conditions, and response to treatment.

Quick Facts

How Does Migraine Affect the Body?

A migraine attack involves changes in activity within the brain and nervous system. Attacks can last for several hours and, in some people, may continue for several days.

Migraine commonly causes throbbing or pulsating pain, often on one side of the head.

Nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, or smells can occur. Some people experience an aura before or during an attack, which may cause temporary visual disturbances, tingling, or difficulty speaking.

Treatment can be used to relieve symptoms during an attack and, when attacks are frequent or disabling, to reduce how often they occur. Preventive treatment may include specific migraine medicines and other medicines selected according to the person's symptoms and health needs.
