What is Migraine ?
Migraine is a neurovascular disease, characterised by periodic, one sided or two sided, throbbing headache with or without vomiting. Starts at very early age, does not get resolved by any type of treatment and continues throughout the life in most of the patients.
Symptoms of Migraine:
- One sided or two sided throbbing and pounding type of headache. This is also known as pulsating headache.
- Periodicity: Headaches come in intervals of some days or weeks. In between two headaches the patient would be normal. But it is not uncommon to see severe cases having daily attacks of headache.
- Nausea or Vomiting: In most of the patients headache is associated with vomiting or sensation of vomiting. Number of vomiting may vary from 1-2 times to several times.
- Photophobia: During the time of headache, patients get irritated by bright lights and like to remain in dark rooms.
- Phonophobia: During a Migraine attack the person gets agitated by loud noises and speech also becomes angry and panic.
Above are the common symptoms of Migraine and the patients with these symptoms are said to have a type of Migraine called as COMMON MIGRAINE. About 70% of patients fall in this category. Remaining 30% of patients would have other extra symptoms, along with the above stated ones. Accordingly they are classified into other types, explained below.
Classification Of Migraines
Types Of Migraine
The Special Types
In this type the patient experiences blurring of vision or flashes of lights in front of his eyes or one-sided blindness for few minutes, just before the onset of headache
In some Migraine victims severe headache is associated with neurological symptoms like tingling sensation or numbness in various parts of the body, like lips, skull, hands, legs and tongue. In more severe cases the person feels lack of strength in one side of the body, difficulty in speech and swallowing for some minutes to hours. Such patients are said to have Hemiplegic Migraine.
If the patient suffers moderate to severe giddiness or vomiting, stiffness in neck muscle, along with other Migraine symptoms, such type is called as vertiginous Migraine.
Most of the young girls and ladies having Migraines, complain of severe Dysmenorrhoea (stomach pain during monthly periods), sometimes associated with vomiting and loose motions.( note: This pain would stop permanently in those who receive our Migraine treatment)
But girls or women having strong family history of Migraine may suffer only severe Dysmenorrhoea, vomiting, loose motions, severe weakness, fainting without headache or any other symptoms of migraine. This is called as Menstrual Migraine. Such patients respond very well to our migraine medicine.
This is a very rare type of Migraine. In this type patients are exhibited with severe stomach pain in regular intervals without any symptoms of headache. The stomach pain is so severe that the patient is forced to undergo all possible medical investigations, and to the surprise of the treating doctor all such investigations would stand normal. We had seen one such patient who was subjected to Laparotomy (surgically opening the abdomen just to find out the reason of stomach pain) and nothing was achieved. He responded very well to our Migraine treatment and his 4 year old stomach pain was totally resolved in 12 weeks.

This type of headache even though seems like Migraine, it is different in its cause and symptoms. Only an expert can differentiate it from Migraine. The line of treatment of Cluster Headache is also different from that of Migraine.
In this type the patient complains of a typical type of pain just above the eye ball of one side, which is of pricking or stabbing nature. Pain is also not of continuous type. That comes and goes about 2-8 times per day, each time lasting for some minutes to hour. Such one episode may continue for some weeks to couple of months.
