What Is a Migraine?

A migraine is a moderate or severe headache felt as a pulsing or throbbing sensation on one side of the head. This common condition occurs along with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances. Migraines affect all age groups and can last hours or days. The diagnosis of this neurological condition is determined based on medical history, symptoms, and by ruling out other causes.

People with chronic migraines experience headache on at least 15 days in a month, which can impact their physical, social, and professional life.
