migraine treatment

Migraines are debilitating chronic headaches that can cause pain for hours or days. Migraines can begin in the early teen years and may be triggered by many things, including stress, odors, certain foods, alcohol, etc. Some migraines are accompanied by visual disturbances called auras, which are characterized by sensitivity to light, scintillating shapes, sometimes nausea and vomiting. About a third of migraine attacks are preceded by an aura.
