A migraine headache is a severe pain felt on one, and sometimes, both sides of the head. The pain is mostly in the front around the temples or behind one eye or ear. Besides pain, you may have nausea and vomiting, and be very sensitive to light and sound. Migraine can occur any time of the day, though it often starts in the morning. The pain can last a few hours or up to one or two days. Most often, migraine affects people between the ages of 15 and 55. Many people have a family history of migraine. They are more common in women. Migraine often becomes less severe and frequent with age. What causes migraine? One theory about the cause of migraine is the blood flow theory, which focuses on blood vessel activity in the brain. Blood vessels either narrow or expand. Narrowing can constrict blood flow, causing problems with sight or dizziness. When the blood vessels expand, they press on nerves nearby, which causes pain. Another theory focuses on chemical changes in the brain. When chemicals in the brain that send messages from one cell to another, including the messages to blood vessels to get narrow or expand, are interrupted, migraines can occur.

106. Cause Headache Migraine: Headache Migraine Symptom, Headache Migraine Treatment Many women with migraines who suffer from PMS believe their headaches are justanother part of PMS. However, scientists believe that PMS and menstrual http://www.womenshealth.com/library/migraine.html

Migraine Migraines are 2-3 times more common in women than in men and the gender difference begins at puberty and often ends after menopause. Many hormone-related events exclusive to women, such as pregnancy, menopause, and the cycles of menstruation can trigger the onset of migraines. Like many health problems that affect women in greater numbers than men, migraines were relatively neglected by medical researchers until fairly recently. And when studies had been done they more often were done using male subjects. Scientists are fairly certain that changing levels of female hormones contribute to migraine; however, exactly how these hormones work is still a mystery. Approximately 60% of women who chart their migraine attacks will note that their headaches are partly or wholly synchronized with the menstrual cycle. The medical community divides these hormonal migraines into two categories. True Menstrual Migraine - attacks that occur two days prior, during and up to three days after the menstrual period and at no other time.

109. ACHE Articles migraine headache .info presents a unique and efficient method of Becausehemicrania continua can have features of both migraine and cluster headache, http://www.achenet.org/articles/6.php

Hemicrania Continua By William B. Young, MD Hemicrania continua is an uncommon form of chronic daily headache. The name basically signifies that half ( hemi ) of the head ( crania ) hurts all the time ( continua ). It is in fact a continuous, one-sided headache of moderate severity, with episodes of severe pain and with associated migraine-like features (nausea, sensitivity to light and sound), as well as some cluster headache-like features (tearing, redness of the eye, droopy eyelid). Hemicrania continua is generally considered to be a rare form of headache, although a recent report from our center described 34 new cases diagnosed over a 3-year period (out of a total of 3,000-4,000 headache patients seen over that time period). Correctly distinguishing hemicrania continua from other forms of chronic daily headache is very important because hemicrania continua almost always responds rapidly to indomethacin (Indocin), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication. Hemicrania continua exists in two formscontinuous and remitting (comes and goes). The daily headache bouts of the remitting form last from 1 to 6 months, separated by pain-free periods of 2 weeks to 6 months. The continuous variety can be continuous from the start or evolve from the remitting pattern. In addition to the pain, there are three main categories of symptoms: the cluster headache-like symptoms, "jabs and jolts," and migraine-like features. Cluster headache-like symptoms consist of eye redness, tearing, runny nose, nasal stuffiness, eyelid swelling, and forehead sweating. These symptoms are not as prominent in hemicrania continua as they are in cluster headache. Symptoms of eye discomfort, in particular the sensation of sand in the eye, have been described by patients with hemicrania continua.

Migraine (This piece, written by Dr Goadsby, encompasses some of the history of migraine research, an introduction to understanding migraine, its mechanism of action and treatments, and areas of future interest in migraine research.) Migraine: what is it and where are we in understanding it? Peter J. Goadsby Migraine is a severe episodic headache that affects about 10% of the UK population. It is more common in women, with a female to male ratio of 3.5:1. It is estimated to affect some 16% of adult menstruating females and cost several tens of millions of dollars a year in its total economic impact. This should be contrasted against the fact that the disorder is at least 4,000 years old. In practice there are, broadly speaking, two types of migraine. The most common is called migraine without aura (Common Migraine) and this accounts for 85% of all sufferers. These are episodes of severe pain that may affect only one side of the head, although they may be bilateral, and which is usually described as throbbing although again this is not always the case. The signature of these headaches is that they are usually, but not always, associated with feeling sick in the stomach or being sensitive to light, sound or movement of the body. Typically the sufferer would wish to lie down in a a dark and quiet room and wait for the storm to pass. The second most common type is called migraine with aura (Classical Migraine). The
