Migraine: What is Migraine?

Migraine

Affecting over 6 million people in the UK and more common than diabetes, epilepsy and asthma combined, migraine is defined as a neurological condition that is characterised by nausea, increased sensitivity and visual problems.

A migraine is much more than a headache, which can usually be cured by a couple of painkillers or a rest; migraines commonly last from anywhere in the region of 4 to 72 hours.

Unfortunately there is no cure for migraine but it is possible to bring it under some control. There are a wide range of treatments available which are very effective but as this is a complex condition, each treatment has different effects on different people.
