Migraine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Migraine is a form of headache, usually very intense. It is a neurologic disease of vascular origin characterized by attacks of sharp pain involving (usually) one half of the skull and accompanied by nausea , vomiting, photophobia and occasionally visual (or rarely other) disturbances known as aura . The symptoms and their timing vary considerably among migraine suffers, and to a lesser extent from one migraine attack to the next. Migraine is often caused by the constriction of the blood vessels of the head and neck Classical migraine (migraine with aura) is forerun by a group of symptoms called aura, whereas common migraine does not have any indicator for the impending headache. A few (perhaps fortunate) people actually get aura without migraine. Cluster headaches have similar symptoms, but tend to recur in minutes or hours, rather than days. Migraine can accompany, in some cases, another type of headache called tension headache. Migraine often runs in families and starts in adolescence , although some research indicates that it can start in early childhood or even in utero. Migraine occurs more frequently in women than men, and is most common between ages 15-45, with the frequency of attacks declining with age in most cases.

Prevention Introduction Migraine is a condition characterized by sudden bouts of throbbing headache often unilateral (pain localized to one side of the head). Migraine can last from a few hours to days. The pain may be accompanied by other manifestations like nausea, vomiting and visual disturbances. Each year, the number of people worldwide seeking medical treatment for recurrent headache has been on the increase. Tension headaches are very common and occur in adults of all ages and gender throughout the world. Women in their early childbearing years are the most susceptible, particularly just before or during menstrual periods. Cluster headaches are most common in men of about 30-40 years of age. The incidence of migraine is much higher in those engaged in stressful work, involving much mental activity like businessmen and scientists. It is also more common in nervous and highly emotional individuals. Cause and Pathogenesis Migraine headache is thought to be due to vascular disturbances. Cluster headaches are also vascular in nature. The exact cause of migraine has not been clearly defined. Vascular disturbances can also be caused by exposure to toxic chemicals like alcohol, lead, arsenic, and carbon monoxide, and are also causes of headache. The most common type of headache is tension headache, but their precise cause is not well-defined. However, most are related to muscle tension, minor trauma, increased stress or anxiety, food and environmental allergens, infection or lesions of the oral or nasal cavity, ear infections, or eyestrain.

147. Assessing Migraine Headaches Assessing your migraine headaches is the first step. Learn more about migraine headaches; take two questionnaires and then take your results to your doctor for his/her diagnosis. http://www.burnsurvivorsttw.org/mighead.html

Assessing Migraine Headaches By: Michael Appleman, M.S. It has been seen that some people suffer from other types of headaches, not just migraine headaches. It has also been seen that not just individuals that have been burned or injured in other ways suffer from migraines and other types of headaches. The question we must ask is; How can I tell if I am suffering from a migraine headache or some other type of headache? Migraine headaches often have the following symptoms: pain on one side of the head, throbbing pain, pain that disrupts normal activity., or pain that's aggravated by activity. Migraine symptoms may also include nausea, with or without vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Below you will find a Migraine Self Assessment Questionnaire. This questionnaire may help you recognize if you are having a migraine or other type of headache. Migraine Self Assessment Questionnaire If you answer yes to two of the following questions; 1,2,3, or 4 and Yes to either 5 or 6, you may have migraine headaches. The questionnaire is just a tool to help you recognize the possibility of having a migraine headache. It is best to discuss your medical and psychological problems with your doctor. That will help your doctor to evaluate your difficulties and make the proper diagnoses.

148. Migraine And Vertigo migraine classifications. migraine disorders are usually migraine andhemiplegic migraine. Vestibular syndromes caused by migraine. http://www.vestibular.org/migraine.html

Migraine and Vertigo Migraine is a disorder usually associated with headache. Although it can affect the whole head, it usually occurs on one side only. It is characterized by throbbing and associated with symptoms that may include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Flashes or patterns before the eyes may precede the headache. Symptoms may also include vertigo and imbalance. Migraine can be associated with benign recurrent vertigo of adults (not to be confused with BPPV), paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, motion sickness, and other vestibular disturbances. Stress, anxiety, hypoglycemia, fluctuating estrogen, certain foods, smoking and other factors can trigger migraine. Physicians treat vertigo and imbalance from migraine by reducing these risk factors. Treatment may also involve medications. Statistics Migraine is an extremely common disorder. Studies suggest that more than 20 million people in the U.S. suffer from migraine. Women are four times as likely as men to experience migraine, which can recur at intervals ranging from one day to several years. Studies indicate that about 25 percent of migraine sufferers experience dizziness during the attacks. Migraine classifications Migraine disorders are usually divided into several types including common, classic, migraine equivalent, and complicated migraine. However, the International Headache Society (IHS) recently developed a new classification system.

At first, I balked, remembering my previous experience there. But perhaps things had changed. In any case, I was older now and more able to speak up for myself. Besides, I could take a cooking class. I learned my way around campus easily using my cane as well as visual landmarks. I traveled from "my house," which I shared with four other girls, to the classroom building, the dining hall, the recreation center, and dormitories where friends were staying.

This Publication Is Searchable The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy Section 14. Neurologic Disorders Chapter 168. Headache Topics [General] Migraine Cluster Headache Tension Headache Migraine Headache that lasts 4 to 72 h, is throbbing, is moderate to severe in intensity, is unilateral, becomes worse with exertion, and is associated with nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light, sound, or smell. Only three or four of the above criteria must be present for accurate diagnosis. About 24 million Americans have migraines. Migraines may occur at any age but usually begin between ages 10 and 40, more often in women than in men. Headaches often partially or completely remit after age 50. More than 50% of patients have a family history of migraine. Etiology and Pathophysiology The cause is unknown, and the pathophysiology is not fully understood. Changes in brain and scalp arterial blood flow occur, but whether vasodilation and vasoconstriction are a cause or an effect of the migraine is unclear. Cortical spreading depression (fundamental changes in the brain cortex in which a crest of hyperpolarization is followed by depolarization) may induce neurogenic inflammation, with vasodilation, activated WBCs and permeable capillaries. The inflammation leads to irritation of perivascular trigeminal sensory fibers. A cascade of events follows, causing changes in blood flow and the severe headache. Intracranial vascular malformations are a rare cause of migraine-like headaches. The mechanism for migraines is not well defined, but several triggers are recognized. Cycling estrogen, a significant trigger, may explain why there are three times as many women with migraines as men. Evidence of estrogen's role as a trigger includes the following: During puberty, migraine becomes much more prevalent in females than in males; migraines are particularly difficult to control in the premenopausal period; and oral contraceptives and estrogen replacement therapy often make migraine worse. Other triggers include insomnia, barometric pressure change, and hunger. The association of diet and migraine is usually overstated. No prospective study has proved an association.

Community Latest News Migraine Facts: Symptoms, Types and Causes Migraines and the American Population In terms of work, lifestyle, family and other relationships, migraine headaches are poorly understood by most people. They can be devastating. The pain can make ordinary tasks impossible until it passes. Unfortunately, many employers are less than understanding that "a little headache" can completely sideline a person for days. The misconception that migraine headaches are just bad headaches is common in society. Twenty-eight million Americans live with the pain of migraines, yet many don't understand even the most fundamental information. Out of those numbers, four and a half million suffer more than one attack a month. Twenty-five percent of the female population is affected, and eight percent of all men. Only about half have been formally diagnosed: the disorder is often misdiagnosed both by doctors and patients. Vascular and Migraines Migraines are "vascular" headaches, meaning that their source is the contraction and dilation of blood vessels. Originally, vascular headaches were thought to be caused solely by changes in the dilation of blood vessels. More recent research, however, indicates that the nervous system and genetics contribute to the problem. The exact causes of vascular headaches are a mystery. Some theories hold that nerve fibers surrounding blood vessels give off chemicals that cause the blood vessels to dilate or constrict. Others suggest that brain neuron activity sets off a reaction in the brain stem that causes the facial arteries to become inflamed. Yet another suggests that the brain's blood vessels spasm, reducing

157. Depakote Information from the manufacturer about divalproex sodium for migraine prevention, including side effects and other concerns. http://www.rxabbott.com/br/dp/dp001.htm

DEPAKOTE is indicated for prophylaxis of migraine headaches. There is no evidence that DEPAKOTE is useful in the acute treatment of migraine headaches. Because valproic acid may be a hazard to the fetus, DEPAKOTE should be considered for women of childbearing potential only after this risk has been thoroughly discussed with the patient and weighed against the potential benefits of treatment. Gastrointestinal System Nervous System Other Hepatic failure resulting in fatalities has occurred in patients receiving valproic acid and its derivatives. Patients should be monitored closely for the appearance of nonspecific symptoms which may precede hepatotoxicity. Liver function tests should be performed prior to therapy and at frequent intervals thereafter, especially during the first 6 months. Depakote should not be administered to patients with hepatic disease or significant hepatic dysfunction. Cases of life-threatening pancreatitis have been reported in adults and children receiving valproate, either initially or after several years of use. Some cases were described as hemorrhagic with a rapid progression from onset to death. Patients should be warned that symptoms of pancreatitis require prompt medical evaluation. If pancreatitis is diagnosed, valproate should be discontinued. The frequency of adverse effects (particularly elevated liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia) may be dose-related.

I found through my surfing that many migraine "hits" were true dead ends. Each of the ones listed below provides useful or helpful information of one type or another. As you can see, there are not a great many links, but as I continue to surf I will add to this. Feel free to e-mail me (see address below) if you have links you wish to add. As a migraine sufferer, I would also have a personal interest in anything you might be able to add. As an aside, I started the "Sugar Busters" diet, which is essentially a very low glycemic diet. Coincidentally, my migraine headaches decreased in frequency and intensity (not to mention the weight loss I achieved which had heretofore been difficult on other diets). If you're interested in this diet, I suggest that you visit the Mining Company site, If you are interested in general medical sites to visit, please go to my Medical Links for M.T.s and Others
