Migraine is a debilitating and recurrent neurological disorder, characterized by a throbbing headache that is usually made worse by movement and is often associated with nausea, vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia. It is increasingly recognized as a disorder that seriously undermines patients’ ability to work, study and have a normal family life.
Migraine has many symptoms including visual disturbances, sensitivity to sound and light, severe headache, nausea, vomiting. During an attack, Migraineurs, people who suffer from Migraine, may also have problems speaking and remembering the correct words for what they’re trying to say. One Migraine episode can last hours, days, or weeks, leaving the Migraineur virtually disabled for that period of time.
Who suffers from migraine?
About one in ten people suffer from migraine, although the prevalence varies with age. Most migraine sufferers experience their first attacks during childhood or as teenagers, but migraines can sometimes begin during adult life. Studies have shown that, the age of onset is earlier in boys than in girls. Migraine can affect people at any age, but it is most common from 25 to 55 years of age, when work and family commitments are maximal.
