Migraine is one of the most common disease of the nervous system. It is basically a type of headache that generally occurs in episodes or “attacks”. A migraine is a shuddering, intense headache in one- half of the head. It can affect people of all the  ages.The pain of a migraine is usually moderate to severe and can interrupt  the normal human activities. This  pain may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensibility to light or sound.
During the migraine attack, the blood vesselsof  the brain expand and then bring together with stimulus of nerve endings near the affected blood vessels. These alterations to the blood vessels are probably what causes the pain, but migraine is still a condition that is poorly realized.
Most of the people suffering from migraine are knowledgeable that various foods like  cheese, wine,  chocolate or citrus fruits, can be responsible for causing  the attacks.

Migraine are  sparked by many other different things, including stress, exercise, bright lights, flickering lights, loud noises, strong smells, lack of sleep or too much sleep and certain foods.
In women the migraine  attacks may be sparked off by hormonal changes, e.g during the  menstruation
cycles (periods).
Thus, the Migraine sufferers should avoid factors such as alcohol, lack of sleep and foods that are known to cause attacks.
Some people may also suffer from various other  monitory symptoms, such as numbness or tingle on one side of face, around the mouth or down the  one arm.

The first-ever attack of migraine may  look like many other conditions, including meningitis or even a stroke, and so great attention can be needed in making the initial diagnosis. Once several attacks have occurred however the pattern then becomes recognizable. Depending upon the conditions,  it may be essential for the person to see a neurologist  to have investigatings such as a brain scan.
The first course of treatment is all of the time to try and identify trigger off factors, which implies keeping on a deliberate record of cases, primarily of the foods that have anteceded  the  attack. These peculiar  foods are discovered to be as migraine activater in about 20 % of sufferers. The large female prevalence within the  migraine diseased person  directs to the grandness of hormonal factors such as the menstrual cycle. Most of the women also find that the contraceptive pill worsens these attacks, and if and so it should be totallly stopped.

Patients  suffering a migraine should always  try to rest in a dark and quiet room.

Treatment for  migraine is most effective if it is  given at  begin of  the attack.

It can be treated effectively with a diversity of medicinal drugs  depending on the individual. A mere painkiller like paracetamol, aspirin or ibuprofen also can be effective at relieving migraine pain  and thus  are usually the first ever treatment tried. They are mostly taken in soluble form because the soluble forms are easily absorbed by the body. If sickness or vomiting are a problem with migraine   then suppositories may be preferred, or else an antisickness medicine may be taken with a painkiller. There are also products available that combine these with a painkiller, e. g Paramax, Domperamol, Migramax.etc.

Most frequently numerous kinds of medicinal drugs  need to be tried and maybe combined earlier the most effectual treatment for each individual patient can be found. Alternate therapies, such as homoeopathy and acupuncture, are known even if the proof supporting their effectiveness is poor or absent. The herbal remedies  have also shown some effectiveness in preventing migraine disease.
Lifestyle and dietary advices  are always significant.
