What is Migraine & Head Pain Pathways
Migraine is a neurological disorder that manifests as a sometimes severe, recurring headache and can have a negative impact on your life and your ability to work. Each person’s symptoms are slightly different and may include symptoms other than pain in the head.
For some sufferers, symptoms begin to appear prior to an attack, while some people experience symptoms only after an attack. Others may have warning signs that include changes to their vision and other sensory warning signs.
Neuraxis assesses your symptoms and your headache patterns, when they occur, and what may be causing them in order to determine the best approach to managing the symptoms of migraine.
Symptoms of a migraine vary from person to person, but may include:
Which can be mild or severe; it is throbbing or pulsating and may be felt on one side, or on both sides, of the head
Common gastrointestinal symptoms accompanying moderate to severe headache episodes
Photophobia and phonophobia making everyday environments overwhelming during attacks
Osmophobia or heightened reaction to odors and scents
Aura signs, flickering lights, zig-zag lines, or temporary blurred vision
Brain fog or cognitive difficulty before, during, or after episodes
Postdrome phase characterized by exhaustion and lowered energy levels
It is not always necessary that there be one definite cause for migraines. There could be various other reasons that might lead to an attack or make them probable.
Identifying triggers specific to your routine is an important step in managing and preventing future attacks.
