Migraine Treatment

It is important to remember that a migraine is more than just a headache. It is a complex neurological condition that can affect the whole body, causing pain, nausea and sometimes visual disturbance.

Migraines affect 1 in 5 women and 1 in 15 men, usually starting in early adulthood. Usually diagnosed by a doctor, the types vary between a migraine with aura, migraine without aura and migraine aura without headache (silent headache).






    Despite no clear cause being established, migraines are thought to be the result of temporary changes in the chemicals, nerves and blood vessels in the brain. Around 1/2 have a close relative with the condition, suggesting that genes can play a role.

    There are common triggers that can bring on a migraine and these vary from person to person. These triggers can include physical and emotional stress, tiredness, missing meals, drinking caffeine or alcohol, and foods containing tyramine (cured meats, some cheeses and yeast extracts). Also, bright lights, loud noises and changes in climate can play a role in setting off a migraine.
