WHAT IS A MIGRAINE HEADACHE Migraine is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent moderate to severe headaches. The headaches are recurrent and throbbing in nature that typically affects one side of the head often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. The condition affects many people and can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. Effective management of migraine requires an all-round approach that includes both preventive and abortive strategies. Preventive measures for migraine are aimed at reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of migraines, and can include lifestyle changes, medication, and complementary therapies. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule can be effective in reducing the frequency of migraines. Adopting a healthy diet and avoiding triggers such as certain foods, alcohol, and caffeine can also help to prevent migraines. Medications used for preventive management of migraines include beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants. These medications can help to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, but they are typically prescribed by a healthcare professional, and it is important to follow instructions and guidelines. In addition to preventive measures, abortive therapy can be used to stop a migraine once it has started. The most commonly used abortive medications for migraines are triptans, (NSAIDs) and anti-nausea drugs can also be used to relieve the symptoms of a migraine.
