3. Definition of Migraine
Migraine is a genetic Neurological disease,
characterized by episodes often called Migraine
attacks. They are quite different from regular
headaches which are non-migraines. Migraines
are called primary headaches because the pain
isn’t caused by another disorder or disease such
as a brain tumor or head injury. Some cause pain
on just the right side or left side of the head,
others result in pain all over. Migraine sufferers
may have moderate or severe pain and usually
can’t participate in normal activities because of
the pain. Often when a migraine strikes, people
try to find a quiet, dark room.

4. What cause migraines?
Different people have different triggers and different
symptoms. Some people experience aura, which can
cause changes in vision. Sufferers have reported
seeing flashes or bright spots. Although an exact cause
I unknown, brain scans show that migraines may be
due to “hyperactivity” in parts of the brain. Actually, a
migraine’s brain is biochemically different than that the
brain of a person without this disorders.
Migraine in women are more common than in a men.
Susceptibility to families. There is one rare genetically
proven migraine syndrome, Familial Hemiplegic
Migraine (FHM) where a known genetic deficiency in
one protein is present.

5. How Do you diagnose migraine?
The diagnosis usually happens if people have a
combination of symptoms and doctors have ruled
out other disorders. The International Headache
Society breaks migraines into two categories:
migraine with aura and migraine without aura.
Aura causes sufferers to see spots, light or blurry
lines before pain strikes, among other symptoms.
To diagnose a migraine without aura, the society
says at least two of the following symptoms must
be present: nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to lights,
sensitivity to sounds or sensitivity to smells.

6. How long do migraine last?
Many people experiences migraines lasting for
at least four hours or may last for days. The
range of time someone is affected by an
attack is actually longer than the migraine it
self, as there is a pre-monitory, or build –up
phase, and a post-drone that can last one to
two days.

7. The two mayor types of migraines are:
 Migraine without Aura (formerly called Common
Migraine). This is the most frequent type of Migraine.
Symptoms include moderate to severe pulsating
headache pain that occurs without warning and is
usually felt on one side of the head. It come along with
nausea, confusion, blurred vision, mood changes,
fatigue, and increased sensitivity to light, sound or
smell. Attacks typically last 4 to 72 hours, and they
repeated a few times a year to few time a week.
Movement generally make the attack worse.
Importantly, this migraine without Aura is the type
more prone to worsen with frequent use of
symptomatic medication.

8. Migraine with Aura
(formerly called Classic or Complicated Migraine). This
type of Migraine includes visual disturbances and other
neurological symptoms that appear about 10 to 60
minutes before the actual headache an usually last no
more than an hour. You may temporarily lose part or
all of your vision. The Aura may occur without
headache pain, which can strike at any time. Less
frequent Aura symptoms include an abnormal
sensation, numbness, or muscle weakness on one side
of the body; a tingling sensation in the hands or face;
trouble speaking and confusion. Nausea , loss of
appetite and increased sensitivity to light, sound or
noise may precede the headache.
