What is a "migraine"?
A migraine is a type of headache that can cause intense throbbing or pulsing pain, often on one side of the head. It may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can be exhausting and can last for hours to days, interfering with daily activities and quality of life. Some people also experience aura, which includes visual changes like flashing lights or blind spots, before the headache begins. Treatment for migraines may include pain-relieving medications, preventive medications, lifestyle changes, and relaxation techniques.
