Migraine headaches can interrupt the flow of daily life to the point of dysfunction and even despair—without a one-size-fits-all remedy, knowing the type and cause of yours may be helpful.

Migraines are a specific type of headache characterized by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe head pain. The pain is often described as pulsating or throbbing and typically affects one side of the head. Migraines are often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
