What Is a Migraine Headache?

health No Comments »

This animation is brought to you by the Association of Migraine Disorders, with support from Amgen/Novartis and AbbVie. Migraine is not just a headache, it’s a complex neurological disease that impacts more than 1 billion people worldwide. This animation by Nucleus Medical Media, made in collaboration with AMD, explains possible causes of this disease and what happens in the brain during an attack. Learn more about migraine at www.MigraineDisorders.org or on the AMD YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/MigraineEquivalent

MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: To sense the world, your nerves send electrical signals to and from your spinal cord and brain. Sensors throughout our body collect information about our surroundings. This information is sent by signals to our brain through a series of nerve cells. Each electrical signal is carried from one end of a nerve cell to the other using passageways called ion channels. Charged particles, called ions, pass through the channels along the nerve, which helps generate the electrical current. At the end of the nerve, the signal moves to the next via chemicals called neurotransmitters. Communication with the brain occurs via pathways and nerve centers at the base of the brain, called the brain stem. The brain stem helps control sleep, heart rate, and breathing. Migraine is a disease where one or more parts of this communication system does not function properly. Many sections of DNA, called genes, program ion channels, neurotransmitters, and other structures that support these nerve pathways. In some with migraine, inherited changes to genes, called mutations, can cause the communication system to become hypersensitive. Most mutations do not directly cause migraine, but, in combination, may explain why there are so many forms and symptoms of migraine disease. These mutated genes affect the function of other parts of the body. As a result, people with migraines may also have anxiety, depression, strokes, epilepsy, hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic floor pain, fibromyalgia, Sjogren’s disease, and others. Each attack typically has three or four phases. The typical phases of a migraine attack are prodrome, starting hours before a headache, aura, headache, and postdrome. Prodrome includes subtle symptoms, such as yawning, fatigue, or moodiness. Experienced only by some, auras may be short term visual changes, such as flashes of light, zigzags, or blind spots. Auras can also include numbness, confusion, vertigo, or even muscle weakness. Pounding headaches may occur on only one side of the head, often lasting four to seventy-two hours. Other possible symptoms include light and noise sensitivity, or nausea. Finally, during postdrome, a person feels like they have hangover, which lasts another day or two. Migraine attacks are often brought on by specific stimuli, or triggers, such as: increased stress, weather change, too much or too little sleep, or certain foods. Since it may be a cumulative effect of several triggers, avoiding as many known triggers as possible can help reduce the number of attacks. It is important for treatment planning to distinguish migraine on the basis of frequency and character of attacks. Less than fifteen headache days per month is episodic migraine. Fifteen or more headaches per month is chronic migraine. Every year about three percent of those with episodic migraine become chronic. This worsening of symptoms may be due to changes in hormones or accumulated brain damage from years of migraine attacks. While migraine is rarely deadly, it is an invisible disease that can steal years of quality time. For more information about migraine, talk to your healthcare provider, or visit migrainedisorders.org.

What happens to your brain during a migraine - Marianne Schwarz

Find out what’s happening in the brain when you have a migraine and what we still don’t know about this complex disorder.

A throbbing, pounding headache. Bright zigzagging lines across your field of vision. Sensitivity to light, lingering fatigue, disrupted sleep. While an incapacitating headache is one of the most common symptoms, a migraine can include any of these experiences. So what exactly is a migraine? And what causes it? Marianne Schwarz explores what we know— and don’t know— about this complex disorder.

10 Ways to Prevent Migraines

health No Comments »

You know migraines can shut down your life.

Did you know that you might be able to determine specific environmental triggers that can help you avoid a migraine?

Here are 10 ways to prevent a migraine before it starts.

Number 1: Keep a diary, because migraines often surface with patterns you should start writing down when you’ve been doing just before a migraine begins or what food you’re eating.

Number 2: Know early warning signs. Some of the early symptoms include fatigue dizziness and nausea sometimes or aura is occurred as well. By knowing when a migraine is about to start you can prepare yourself by taking action.

Number 3: Change your eating habits based on your diary start eliminating foods that trigger these headaches. Replace these foods with ones that fight migraines omega-3 fatty acids in foods rich in magnesium.

Number 4: Stay hydrated. Many people don’t realize that dehydration can contribute to migraine pain. Make sure you drink lots of water throughout the day.

Number 5: Cut out the caffeine, caffeine is a stimulant that can cause migraines; it also can make them worse. Eliminating caffeine sometimes causes withdrawal like symptoms and could cause more migraines but the long-term benefits are worth it.

Number 6: Have a regular sleep schedule. Did you know that too little or too much sleep are known triggers for migraines. Be sure to develop night time routines to help you create more regular sleep patterns.

Number 7: Limit alcohol intake. Beer wine and hard-liquor are known triggers for migraines for some it is the alcohol itself, for others it’s the sensitivity to the ingredients found in the drinks like tannins and sulphites in red wine.

Number 8: Avoid or manage your stress. Stress in everyday life causes migraines to manage your stress. Try learning meditation and breathing techniques to help you remain calm and focused. You might also want to try physical fitness to get rid of the stress.

Number 9: Exercise! Speaking of physical fitness exercise helps eliminate stress and also boost your mood and the right hormones in your body.

Number 10: Talk to your doctor about treatment. If you tried all the things on this list and you’re still having a tough time with migraines you might want to talk to your doctor about medications and other therapies that could work for you.

But when it’s continuous, it actually begins to change your brain. Madhumita Murgia shows how chronic stress can affect brain size, its structure, and how it functions, right down to the level of your genes.

Complex Migraine – Mayo Clinic

In this video, David Dodick, M.D., a neurologist at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, explains the symptoms, triggers and treatment for complex migraines. A nationally recognized expert on headaches, Dr. Dodick is the president of the American Headache Society, Editor-in-Chief of Cephalalgia, Director and Founder of the Headache Program and Headache Fellowship Program at Mayo Clinic in Arizona.

Stroke is the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and a leading cause of disability, according to the American Stroke Association.

To recognize symptoms, leading stroke experts recommend memorizing an easy-to-remember acronym:
FAST!

Face (drooping of the face)
Arm (arm weakness)
Speech (slurred speech)
Time (time counts — call 911 immediately)

Cedars-Sinai has been designated a Comprehensive Stroke Center by The Joint Commission, an independent, not-for-profit organization that accredits and certifies nearly 21,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States.

This advanced certification for comprehensive stroke centers recognizes the significant resources in staff and training that these centers must have to treat complex stroke cases. Cedars-Sinai was proud to be among the first five hospitals in the nation, and the first in Southern California, to receive this designation.
