Migraine and its treatment

A headache, colloquially known as a headache, is a local pain felt in the skull or sometimes in the neck. This pain can be lateral, often unilateral, or diffuse and generalised. It manifests itself in a wide variety of ways, with sensations of oppression or compression, hammering, sinking, burning, tingling, and tingling. The migraine generally lasts between 4 and 72 hours depending on its severity; symptoms include nausea, vomiting, photophobia (great sensitivity to light), phonophobia (great sensitivity to sound); symptoms generally worsen with physical activity. Approximately one-third of individuals with migraine experience an aura. A distinction is made between non-specific and specific treatments for the treatment of the attack. Non-specific treatments relieve headaches (symptoms of migraine). Specific treatments inhibit the vasodilatation that is supposed to be at the origin of the migraine.
