Migranya

Migranya is a term that refers to a severe headache, often accompanied by other symptoms. It is commonly known as a migraine. Migraines are a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, moderate to severe headaches. These headaches can be debilitating and significantly impact a person's daily life.

The exact cause of migraines is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Changes in brain activity and chemical imbalances, particularly involving serotonin, are thought to play a role. Triggers for migraines can vary widely among individuals and may include certain foods, stress, hormonal changes, changes in sleep patterns, and sensory stimuli such as bright lights or strong smells.

Migraine symptoms typically include a throbbing or pulsating headache, often on one side of the head. Nausea and vomiting are common, as are increased sensitivity to light (photophobia) and sound (phonophobia). Some individuals experience an aura before the headache phase, which can involve visual disturbances like flashing lights or blind spots, or sensory changes such as tingling.

Treatment for migraines aims to relieve pain and prevent future attacks. This can involve over-the-counter pain relievers, prescription medications like triptans, and preventive therapies for those with frequent or severe migraines. Lifestyle modifications, such as identifying and avoiding triggers, can also be beneficial.
