Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by recurring episodes of moderate to severe headaches. In many individuals, migraine pain may be accompanied by additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound, dizziness, blurred vision, or visual disturbances known as aura. The frequency and severity of migraine attacks can vary significantly from person to person.
Migraine symptoms may sometimes resemble other neurological conditions. Therefore, obtaining an accurate diagnosis from an experienced neurologist is an important first step toward effective management.
