A migraine is a neurological condition characterized by intense, debilitating headaches. It is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can be episodic or chronic and significantly affect an individual’s quality of life.
Common symptoms of a migraine include a throbbing pain on one side of the head, sensitivity to light and sounds, and nausea. Some people may experience visual disturbances known as aura before the onset of a headache. Symptoms can last for hours or even days.
The exact cause of migraines is still not fully understood, but they are thought to be the result of abnormal brain activity affecting nerve signals, chemicals, and blood vessels in the brain. This activity can be triggered by various factors, including stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, and environmental stimuli.
