Migraine is one of the most common diseases worldwide, and can be very severe and even disabling.  In fact, the World Health Organization describes migraine disability as the most disabling disease affecting young people. And it’s a women’s health issue as well – three times more women experience migraine than men. 

‍

Migraine is not just a headache – there are specific features that a headache has to have in order for it to be considered migraine.  There are always sensitivities and non-pain symptoms that occur during migraine, and it’s even possible to have a migraine with no pain at all (and it can still feel terrible).  Migraine is a unique neurological phenomenon that scientists have learned a tremendous amount about, and with that knowledge comes evidence-based approaches to treatments.

‍

Although migraine can be severe, in almost all situations it is treatable.  There are excellent preventive treatments, and even lifestyle modifications can improve migraine frequency.  Certain supplements can prevent migraine, and there are medications to break up severe migraine attacks that are tailored to migraine on a molecular level.
