Migraines
An estimated 15% of the adult population suffers from migraines and they are reported to be twice as common in females as in males. Symptoms of a migraine include throbbing sensations in the head for sustained periods of time, and an acute sensitivity to bright light, sound and movement. The pain can manifest itself in one side of the head, although a pressure sensation can be experienced on both sides. A migraine differs from a typical headache due to its causes and the severity of the symptoms. A migraine headache is far more intense and results in many people being immobile until the migraine stops.
A migraine headache can last between four and 72 hours, inducing nausea, diarrhea or exhaustion. Some migraine headaches cause neurological symptoms known as aura which occur before the actual migraine headache sets in, similar to a pre-warning. Visual agitations before the migraine, or during are common symptoms, such as seeing black spots and flashing lights. A sufferer may also experience a stiff neck and the inability to speak coherently.
Although there is not a complete comprehension of the causes of migraine headaches , the majority of sufferers are thought to possess a genetic predisposition. Around 80% of people, who suffer from migraines, will have family members who have or currently suffer from the same migraine symptoms.
It was previously thought that the aura and in turn the headaches in migraines, were the result of the contraction of blood vessels, before they expand (dilating) inside the brain. However, contemporary research has proposed that migraine symptoms are the result of changes in activity if neurons (nerve cells in the brain), and that changes in blood vessels occur as a result. In addition, a chemical messenger in the brain (serotonin) is also thought to be a contributing factor. Hormonal changes can also play a part for female sufferers, with a percentage suffering from menstrual migraines. Migraines can also occur in women immediately prior, during or post period.
