Migraines are characterized by moderate to severe headaches along with autonomic nervous system symptoms. This chronic neurological disorder affects women 2 - 3 times as often as men. Typically lasting 2 - 72 hours, migraines are pulsating in nature and typically affect one side of the head. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and sensitivity to sound. These symptoms are exacerbated with physical activity. Though the origin of the migraine is unknown, it is believed to be a neurovascular disorder. They are considered to be a mix of genetics and environmental factors that run in approximately of the cases within families. It appears that hormones play a role as well since more prepubescent boys than girls are affected while the symptoms usually decrease during pregnancy and typically stop after menopause. Preventative treatment includes medication, lifestyle change, nutritional supplements or surgery. The goal is to reduce severity of symptoms, frequency, and duration and to increase the effectiveness of abortive therapies.
