Migraine is a form of headache. The pain is usually throbbing, pulsating and bursting in character.

severe headache associated with autonomic symptoms. About 15–30% of people with migraines experience

migraines with an aura and those who have migraines with aura also frequently have migraines without aura.

headache2. The aura, which immediately precedes the headache3. The pain phase, also known as headache phase4. The postdrome, the effects experienced following the end of a

Cause The underlying causes of migraines are unknown. However, they are believed to be related to a mix of

environmental and genetic factors. They run in families in about two-thirds of cases and rarely

occur due to a single gene defect. A number of psychological conditions are associated,

including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, as are many biological events or triggers.

Diagnosis The diagnosis of a migraine is based on signs and

symptoms. Neuroimaging tests are not necessary to diagnose migraine,

but may be used to find other causes of headaches in those whose examination and history do not confirm a migraine diagnosis.

Your doctor may also recommend a variety of tests to rule out other possible causes for your pain if your condition is unusual, complex or suddenly becomes severe.
