About the disease & condition

Migraines and other headache disorders are neurological conditions that cause recurrent or severe head pain. Migraines often involve throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound, while tension headaches and cluster headaches have different patterns and triggers. These disorders can significantly affect daily life, work, and well-being. Causes include genetics, stress, hormonal changes, diet, and environmental factors. Proper diagnosis, lifestyle adjustments, and medical management help reduce frequency, intensity, and impact on daily activities.
