Understanding Migraines: Causes, Symptoms, and Management

Migraines are more than just headaches. They are complex neurological conditions that can significantly impact a person’s quality of life.

A migraine is characterized by recurring headaches of moderate to severe intensity, typically localized on one side of the head. These headaches are often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and, in some cases, visual disturbances known as auras. Migraines can last anywhere from a few hours to several days, making them a debilitating condition for many people.

The exact cause of migraines remains elusive, but they are thought to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors.
