    What is Migraine?

    What is Migraine?

    A migraine is a severe type of headache that can lead to a pulsing sensation or severe, intense throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head.
    It is a neurological condition that is often accompanied by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and an extreme form of sensitivity to sound and light.
    A migraine attack can last for 4 hours to 72 hours in most cases, and the pain can be so severe that it can interfere with a person’s routine daily activities, work, and social interactions.
    Migraines usually occur in phases, including warning signs (known as aura), the headache itself, and post-attack fatigue or confusion. Although migraine is a chronic condition, with proper treatment, it can be managed effectively.
    SGVP Holistic Hospital offers effective migraine care in Ahmedabad under the expert care and guidance of experienced neurologists.

    Types of Migraine

    Types of Migraine
    There are many types of migraine, including the following common types:
    • Migraine with aura (classic migraine): This type of migraine is characterized by the presence of neurological symptoms or aura that develop before or during the headache phase, including visual disturbances, sensory changes, speech problems, or weakness on one side of the body.
    • Migraine without aura (common migraine): It is the most common type of migraine and is characterized by symptoms like a throbbing headache (usually on one side) with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to sound or light.
    • Migraine with brainstem aura or basilar migraine: The aura phase in this type of migraine shows neurological symptoms like vertigo, slurred speech, and tinnitus.
    • Silent migraine: It involves a typical aura without any headache. The condition is commonly seen in people who start getting migraine after 40 years of age.
    • Chronic migraine: The condition involves headaches on 15 or more days per month for at least three months, with features of migraine on at least 8 days.
    • Hemiplegic migraine: It is a rare type of migraine with temporary paralysis or sensory changes on one side of the body.
    • Retinal migraine: It causes temporary vision loss in one eye, usually before the headache phase.
    • Vestibular migraine: It is associated with vertigo, balance problems, and dizziness.
    • Menstrual migraine: This type of migraine is triggered by hormonal fluctuations during menstruation.
    • Abdominal migraine: This migraine affects the abdomen rather than the head, and most commonly affects children.

    Migraine Diagnosis

    Migraine Diagnosis

    Diagnosis at SGVP Holistic Hospital involves a combination of clinical assessment and diagnostic tests to confirm migraines and rule out other serious conditions. The diagnosis can be made as follows:
    • Medical history: The doctor asks in detail about the headache characteristics, triggers, symptoms, and family history of migraines.
    • Neurological examination: The doctor will check reflexes, motor skills, sensory responses, coordination, and mental status to detect abnormalities.
    • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan: It produces detailed brain images to rule out tumors, strokes, structural anomalies, or infections.
    • Computed tomography (CT) scan: This imaging test is used to detect bleeding in the brain, stroke, or masses that might cause migraine-like symptoms.
    • Electroencephalogram (EEG): The test helps assess brain wave activity to rule out seizures or epilepsy if the migraine symptoms include loss of consciousness.
    • Blood tests: They help detect infections, inflammation, thyroid problems, or blood clotting disorders that could mimic migraine.
    • Spinal tap (lumbar puncture): This test is performed if infections like meningitis or subarachnoid hemorrhage are suspected as causes of sudden, severe headaches.
    • Early diagnosis of migraine enables our doctors at SGVP Holistic Hospital to make a tailored plan for the treatment of migraine in Ahmedabad based on the patient’s condition and requirements.
    The assessment made by the doctor and the diagnostic test results help doctors at SGVP Holistic Hospital create a personalized treatment plan for epilepsy management in Ahmedabad based on the patient’s needs and condition.

    They are recommended if a person has many migraine attacks a month. They help reduce the frequency of these attacks and may include the following:

    • Beta-blockers, like propranolol
    • Anticonvulsants, like valproate and topiramate
    • Antidepressants, like venlafaxine and amitriptyline
    • Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists, like fremanezumab and erenumab
    • Botox injections
    Once the symptoms of migraine appear, these medicines can help provide relief:
    • Over-the-counter pain-relieving medicines, like NSAIDs and acetaminophen
    • Triptans, like eletriptan, rizatriptan, and sumatriptan
    • Gepants, like ubrogepant and rimegepant

    If medicines don’t work, neuromodulation devices may be used to treat migraines by decreasing or increasing the activity of the nervous system. Common neuromodulation methods include:

    • Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulator: It is a handheld device that can produce a magnetic impulse affecting the electrical signaling in the brain.
    • Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulator: It is a small, noninvasive tool that targets the vagus nerve in the neck through electrical stimulation.
    • Transcutaneous supraorbital neurostimulator: This device simulates the supraorbital nerves by electrical stimulation.
    • Multi-channel brain neuromodulation system: It is a headset that can target the head’s multiple nerves.

    Some recommended lifestyle changes that can prevent migraine attacks include:

    • Maintain a regular sleep schedule.

    • Exercise regularly.
    • Manage stress with yoga, breathing exercises, and biofeedback.
