Introduction
Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, moderate to severe headaches often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances.
Unlike ordinary headaches, migraines involve complex neurological mechanisms and can significantly affect daily functioning, work productivity, and quality of life.
Effective migraine management requires accurate diagnosis, identification of triggers, and an individualized treatment strategy.
Modern neurology offers a range of preventive and acute treatment options that can significantly reduce attack frequency and severity.
