    What Migraine Headache?

    Migraine is a genetically driven complicated illness characterized by bouts of moderate-to-severe headache, most of which are unilateral and are frequently accompanied by nausea and heightened sensitivity to light and sound. The term migraine comes from the Greek word "hemikrania," which was then translated into Latin as "hemigranea."

    The French word for such a condition is "migraine." Migraine is a leading cause of disability and job loss. Migraine episodes are a complicated brain event that occurs on a recurring basis and can last from hours to days. The most frequent form of migraine is one that does not have an aura (75 %).
