Overview

Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent headaches. The pain is often intense and throbbing. It commonly affects one side of the head. Migraines may be accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light. Some individuals experience visual disturbances known as aura. Attacks may last hours to days. The condition can significantly affect daily life. Frequency varies from occasional to chronic. Early recognition helps reduce impact.

What Happens During Allergic Rhinitis?

Changes in brain activity affect nerve pathways and blood vessels. This leads to inflammation and pain signaling. Sensory nerves become overly sensitive. Blood vessel dilation may contribute to throbbing pain. Symptoms gradually build and may resolve after rest.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on symptom history and pattern recognition. No specific laboratory test confirms migraine. Imaging may be performed to rule out other causes in atypical cases.
