Treating symptoms is not difficult, but important is to treat the disorder from its base. Therefore, Migraine can be managed using 2 strategies: Acute treatment and Prophylactic treatment. A Migraine attack is described as a debilitating episode of headache characterised by intense throbbing or pulsating pain, usually on one side of the head which is often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia) and in some cases, visual disturbances which are known as auras.
With passing years, studies have shown that migraine can have a lot of triggers and these can vary widely among individuals. The common ones are : -Bright lights, loud noises, strong smell of perfumes or bad odour, allergens. -Fluctuation of hormones during menopause, pregnancy, and menstruation.
-Excess of Caffeine or Alcohol. -Irregular eating patterns or skipping meals. -Insomnia or Oversleeping.
-Emotional stress, tension, and anxiety. -Extreme heat or cold environment. -Intense physical activity or exertion.
We mostly encounter patients who’ve had a long history of Migraine, and have been to multiple doctors and healthcare facilities for treatment but have just found symptomatic relief. They usually tell us that they need a solution to get rid of the problem rather than just the symptoms, as repeated episodes affect their quality of life. Treating symptoms is not difficult, but important is to treat the disorder from its base.
Therefore, Migraine.
