Migraines are more than just headaches. They’re pre-headaches, post-headaches, sensitivities, nausea, fatigue, and can even bring on food cravings. But most of all they are painful and frustrating for those who suffer from them. For years they were misunderstood, but now we know it comes down to two main things, your genes and your brain.

Migraines are a result of brain dysfunction. It is a problem that originates in the brain itself and is an abnormality with pain processing. There are four stages to the migraine, and only one is the headache itself.

A person starts out experiencing prodrome, this stage can last an entire day and can include yawning, trouble concentrating, increased urination, and cravings for things like chocolate. Then comes the aura, which means the migraine sufferer will see light spots, jagged lines, things like that in their vision or people might have a sensory aura like a pins and needles tingling sensation up one limb. This can last 5 to 60 minutes and is followed almost immediately by a headache.

People then can experience a headache hangover of sorts, or a postdrome, which is somewhat of a recovery phase.

Genes play a role in migraines. There are migraine causing genes and you can be genetically predisposed to having painful migraine headaches. Research has found that a reduction in a protein called CGRP, or calcitonin gene-related peptide, has been shown to correlate with migraine improvement and this research has led to more effective treatment for those who experience migraines.

There are tension headaches, pressure headaches, cluster headaches – then in a league of its own is the migraine. Around one in five Australians experience episodic migraine attacks, with lost productivity and healthcare expenses costing the nation more than billion a year.

While there are now options for migraine medications available on the PBS, as Laura Francis reports, experts say more could still be done.

Zaza Katsarava, MD, PhD, MSc, University of Essen, Essen, Germany, outlines the key concepts in the management of medication overuse headache. Many patients with migraine or tension-type headache develop chronic medication overuse headache, which is associated with a reduced quality of life and psychiatric comorbidities. Prof. Katsarava highlights patient education and medication detoxification as a critical step in the effective management of these patients. Medical prevention of their underlying headache and treatment of psychiatric comorbidities are also necessary. This interview took place during the European Academy of Neurology 2021 congress.

This video contains flashing lights or visual sequences that can be a migraine trigger for some. We balanced the need to powerfully portray migraine disease with the possibility that video mediums can be hard for some folks with migraine.

How to prevent and treat migraine attacks

Intractable migraine, also referred to as status migraine or status migrainosus, is a severe migraine that has continued for greater than 72 hours and has been refractory to usual therapies for migraine. When a patient experiences an intractable migraine, additional treatment is often necessary to break the cycle of migraine. During this webinar Dr. Torphy will discuss the phenomenon of intractable migraine as well as various treatments that can be used to treat this debilitating condition.

Migraines induce severe pain and are more than just headaches. There are three common stages people experience during a migraine: prodrome, aura, and attack. Sharp pain is caused by the dilation of blood vessels surrounding the brain, which can also produce a throbbing sensation. Migraine triggers vary from person to person, but may include hormonal fluctuations, medications, foods, physical factors, sleep changes, or light.
