What is a Migraine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A migraine is a type of headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. It’s often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
A migraine is a complex neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of moderate to severe headache, most often unilateral (on one side of the head) and typically associated with nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes other neurological symptoms.

Types of Migraine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Migraine without aura: The most common type, characterized by headache pain without any warning signs.

\u2022 Other types: There are less common types of migraine, such as hemiplegic migraine (causing weakness on one side of the body) and basilar migraine (affecting the brainstem).
