Migraine Action Day

Migraine is a common and often painful neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide.

It is characterised by recurrent, severe headaches usually accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and in many cases, visual disturbances. A migraine attack can last from a few hours to several days, significantly affecting the quality of life of the people who experience it.

The exact causes of migraine are not fully understood, but are thought to be related to disturbances in brain and nerve activity. Factors such as stress, consumption of certain foods, hormonal changes, and environmental conditions can trigger or worsen migraines. 

Proper diagnosis and management are critical to migraine relief. There are treatments available that include medications to relieve pain and prevent attacks, as well as lifestyle changes that can reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. 

On Migraine Action Day, it is important to raise awareness of this condition and promote the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment. If you are experiencing migraine symptoms or have concerns about your health, contact a healthcare professional for support and guidance.
