Migraine is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of intense head pain, often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light (photophobia), or sound (phonophobia). The condition is not merely a headache, but rather a complex neurological event involving changes in brain activity and blood flow. The pathophysiology is believed to involve the trigeminovascular system, which mediates inflammation and pain signals originating from blood vessels around the brain. Symptoms typically progress through distinct phases, which may include a period of warning, known as an aura, characterized by transient visual or sensory disturbances, followed by the throbbing pain phase, and sometimes an eventual resolution phase. Management and treatment strategies focus on aborting acute attacks, modifying preventative care, and addressing associated symptoms to improve quality of life.
