(PharmaNewsWire.Com, July 17, 2017 ) Migraine is a chronic neurovascular disorder characterized by severe recurrent headaches. It is one of the most common and most prevalent disabling neurological conditions, characterized by episodes often called migraine attacks. They are quite different from regular headaches which are non-migrainous. Migraineurs generally have a lower threshold to triggers that might cause neuronal hyperexcitability, including sleep disturbances, environmental or emotional challenges, alcohol exposure, diet, and hormonal cycles/changes, among others. Migraine attacks can cause significant pain for hours to days and can be so severe that the pain is disabling. Migraine headache is typically throbbing, unilateral (one sided) , and is aggravated by physical activity. It typically presents with additional symptoms in addition to headache pain, including nausea, and sensitivity to light and/or sound.
Depending on symptoms, migraine is broadly classified into two categories, Chronic and Episodic. Migraines can be treated with two types of drugs: abortive and preventive. Abortive medications are especially useful for people who have nausea or vomiting related to their migraine, and they work quickly. Preventive treatment is considered if migraine occurs frequently, typically more than one migraine per week, or if migraine symptoms are severe.
