Migraine
About the disease & condition
Migraine is a neurological condition characterised by recurring, moderate to severe headaches, often affecting one side of the head. Migraines are more than regular headaches and are often triggered by factors such as stress, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, or certain foods. Although there is no permanent cure, migraines can be managed through medication, lifestyle changes, and avoiding known triggers.
