What are migraines and headaches?
Migraines and headaches are among the most common neurological conditions. While tension headaches are usually dull and bilateral, migraines typically manifest as paroxysmal, often unilateral, throbbing pain, accompanied by other symptoms.
Many affected individuals have already sought help from various sources and received a diagnosis – but without real improvement. Yet, even chronic cases can now be treated successfully.
What symptoms occur with migraines and headaches?
Typical symptoms of migraines and headaches include:
- throbbing or pressing headaches
- sensitivity to light and sound
- nausea and occasional vomiting
- difficulty concentrating
- in migraines, sometimes a preceding aura with visual or sensory disturbances
What causes migraines and headaches?
Migraines result from an oversensitivity of the nervous system. Attacks are often triggered by stress, lack of sleep, hormonal fluctuations, certain foods, or changes in weather.
What are the risk factors for migraines and headaches?
- family predisposition
- chronic stress
- irregular sleep
- hormonal factors
- individual triggers
What treatment methods are available for migraines and headaches?
Treatment involves a combination of acute therapy for attacks and preventive treatment, complemented by stress management and the identification of individual triggers. This significantly reduces the frequency and severity of attacks.
