Migraines
Sources:
Migraines are recurring, often debilitating headaches associated with blood-vessel dilation and frequently with light sensitivity; treatment depends on identifying the headache type and may involve prescription or non-drug options.
- Females are affected about three times as often as males, and the difference remains even when menstrual-cycle hormonal changes are accounted for.
- Photophobia, or heightened sensitivity to light, is common in migraine and can appear as a migraine is coming on.
- Identifying the headache type helps guide treatment. Options include prescription medicines and natural approaches; some natural treatments may be as effective as or more effective than common drug treatments, with fewer side effects.
- Regular, sufficient deep sleep may reduce headache frequency and shorten recovery after traumatic brain injury.
