The Best Migraine Information Resources on the Web
A migraine is a specific type of headache that usually occurs on just one side of the head. The pain of a migraine can be severe and is typically described as pulsing or throbbing. Migraine headaches are often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and an inability to tolerate light or sound. Migraines are sometimes preceded by an aura, or a vision disturbance, before the actual pain of the headache begins but the majority of migraine sufferers do not experience this phenomena. Migraines can last anywhere from a few hours to three days and may recur as often as every few days or as rarely as once or twice per year. Women are much more likely to suffer from migraines than men and migraine headaches may run in families. There is no specific test to determine if you are suffering from migraines; a diagnosis is usually made based on symptoms, family history and response to treatment.
Sometimes certain foods, alcohol, stress, or lack of sleep can trigger a migraine headache. Identifying these triggers and avoiding them when at all possible can be an effective tool in managing migraine headaches. Drugs can also play an important role in managing the pain and symptoms of migraine headaches. Some drugs are taken at the first sign of migraine, others are taken daily in an effort to prevent migraines from occurring. There are also numerous alternative migraine treatments including acupuncture, biofeedback and herbal treatments. Chiropractors (like orthogonal chiropractors practicing orthogonal chirpractic) also employ treatments that may help the migraine sufferer. It is still not clear what causes migraine headaches and research continues to try to find more effective preventative measures and treatments.
