Migraine Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment in Dubai

Migraine headaches can be extremely debilitating and may be accompanied by symptoms such as vomiting, light and sound sensitivity, and more. In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), migraine is the 8th most disabling disease in terms of capacity days per year lived. As such, effective migraine headache treatment is crucial for those who suffer from this condition.

What is Migraine?

Migraine is a neurological disorder that manifests itself in an intense or severe headache, which makes it an extremely disabling disease for people who suffer from it.

It affects the frontal part or the entire area of the skull and appears in the form of attacks. It may be accompanied by other symptoms.
These attacks can present themselves in the following ways:

1. episodic
When the pain appears up to 9 days a month, we will speak of infrequent episodic attacks;
or very frequent episodic if there is pain between 10 and 14 a month.

2. Chronic
When there are 15 or more problem days per month.

What are the Types of Migraine?

1. Migraine without aura
It causes severe pain, which interferes with normal activity, and its main symptoms are:

Pain on one side of the head, although in some cases it can spread throughout the head. In some cases, it is a throbbing pain (the heartbeat is felt). Less commonly, the pain may be felt as neck pain or may extend to the jaw.
The pain appears spontaneously and usually lasts more than 4 hours and less than 3 days. In children and teenagers, attacks can last less than 4 hours.

Physical Activity and Migraine

Physical activity and movement of the head make the pain worse. It can cause intolerance to light (photophobia), sounds (phonophobia), and smells (osmophobia). Also nausea and vomiting.

Migraine without aura is the most common form of migraine

2. Migraine with aura
It is distinguished from migraine without aura by the appearance of other symptoms (aura), which can affect different senses: sight, touch, and/or language.
These symptoms often precede the pain and, less frequently, may appear during or after the pain.
