The main symptom of migraine, which develops in attacks, is the headache. Thirty to thirty-five percent of all headaches are migraine headaches. Migraine attacks are usually throbbing and can be aggravated by activity. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, and smells can also accompany the headache. Many patients experience pain on one side of the head and can switch sides; it’s generally more pronounced on one side than the other. It’s often localized in the temples and sometimes around the eyes or behind the eyes. The forehead, the back of the head, and just behind the ear are the most common locations for migraine headaches. In younger women, when hormones are active, the incidence is three times higher than in men.
There are certain factors that trigger migraines. However, these factors may not apply to all migraine sufferers. Stress, excessive excitement, changes in sleep patterns, strenuous activities, hunger, cigarette smoke, strong and pungent odors, certain foods such as chocolate, moldy cheese, and nuts with rinds, alcoholic beverages, menstrual cycle, or sudden changes in weather can trigger migraine attacks.
Migraine attacks can be divided into two categories: with and without aura. Certain neurological symptoms that occur immediately before the pain are called “auras.” Symptoms such as flickering lights, dizziness, excessive smell, and numbness in the arms and legs may occur before the pain begins or during its initial development. Patients often sense that a migraine attack is imminent when they experience these symptoms. In migraine without aura, these symptoms are absent.
A clinical diagnosis is made after the complaints of migraine patients are evaluated by the doctor.
The first step in migraine treatment is to identify triggers and avoid preventable ones. This alone will significantly reduce the number of attacks. With appropriate treatment, patients can achieve complete relief from migraine attacks.
If migraine headaches are infrequent after a diagnosis is made, crisis treatment is planned to alleviate the pain attacks. If attacks occur once or twice a week or more, preventive treatment should be considered. Furthermore, because they negatively impact quality of life and reduce productivity, treatment options should be sought. Sometimes, simply eliminating triggering factors (such as hunger, insomnia, hormone use) can eliminate pain attacks or reduce their frequency and severity. Taking medications just once a day under a doctor’s supervision can lead to years of pain-free living.week could lower the risk of a new episode of depression by 17%, according to the study published Nov. 5 in the journal Depression and Anxiety.
