Migraine

What is an Migraine ?

A migraine is a common type of headache that affects a large number of urban populations. It is characterized by unilateral (one-sided) pain along with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and the intensity of the pain can be from moderate to severe if left untreated. Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins. An aura is a group of symptoms, including vision disturbances, which are a warning signs that a bad headache is coming

Causes, Incidence and Risk Factors

A migraine is caused by abnormal brain activity, which can be triggered by a number of factors. Most medical experts believe that the attack begins in the brain, involves nerve pathways, chemicals and the changes that affect the blood flow in the brain and surrounding tissues leading to a headache.

  • Migraine headaches tend to first appear between the ages of 10 and 45. Sometimes they may begin later in life.
  • Migraines occur more often in women than men.
  • Migraines may run in families
  • Some women, but not all, may have fewer migraines when they are pregnant

Migraine attacks may also be triggered by:

  • Alcohol, stress and anxiety, certain odors or perfumes, loud noises or bright lights, smoking and Caffeine withdrawal.
  • Changes in hormone levels during a woman’s menstrual cycle or with the use of birth control pills
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Exercise or other physical stress
  • Missed meals

Migraine headaches can be triggered by certain foods. The most common being:

  • Any processed, fermented, pickled, or marinated foods, as well as foods that contain monosodium glutamate (MSG)
  • Baked goods, chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, and dairy products
  • Foods containing tyramine, which includes red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and certain beans
  • Fruits (avocado, banana, citrus fruit)
  • Meats containing nitrates (bacon, hot dogs, salami, cured meats)
  • Onions

symptoms of Migraine

Duration of Attack – A migraine can last anywhere from 6 to 48 hours.

Aura as a Warning Sign – Some people experience vision disturbances (aura) before a migraine, affecting both eyes with symptoms like blind spots, blurred vision, eye pain, stars/zigzag lines, or tunnel vision.

Other Early Symptoms – Yawning, difficulty concentrating, nausea, speech problems, and trouble finding words can also signal an upcoming migraine.

Timing of Aura – Not everyone has an aura; for those who do, it typically appears 10–15 minutes before the headache, but it can occur a few minutes to 24 hours prior—sometimes without a headache following.

Migraine headaches can be dull or severe. The pain may be felt behind the eye or in the back of the head and neck. For many patients, the headaches start on the same side each time. The headaches usually:

  • Feel throbbing, pounding, or pulsating.
  • They are worse on one side of the head.
  • Start as a dull ache and get worse within minutes to hours

Symptoms may linger even after the migraine has gone away. Patients with migraine sometimes call this a migraine “hangover”. Symptoms can include:

  • Feeling mentally dull, like your thinking is not clear or sharp.
  • Increased need for sleep.
  • Neck pain

Other symptoms that may occur with the headache include:

  • Chills
  • Increased urination
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness
  • Problems concentrating, trouble finding words
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Sweating

Homeopathy And Migraine

  • Migraine headaches have been generally considered as an obstinate condition by the doctors of common medicine but for a Homeopath curing migraine is a common experience in his or her daily routine clinic practice.
  • Providing a more individualistic approach towards the patient gives a homeopath an edge above the others for treating these headaches as the condition itself is very closely linked with the personality traits and attitudes of the patients.
  • The location, sensation, type or side and time of occurrence also plays and important part in selection of the right medicine.
  • Ipecac is the wonder medicine for pain along with nausea and vomiting, Belladona covers a throbbing, pulsating pain and Helleborous gives relief to stupefying and piercing pains.
  • Nux vomica covers the side effects of taking too much coffee and other triggering food items, while Cimicifuga is the sure-shot effect of taking care of hormonal disturbances.
  • Gelsemium and Theridion are indicated for visual auras and disturbances preceding the headache.
  • These are just a few examples showing how exacting homeopathy is as a scientific approach for treating Migraines. An expert and well-experienced Homeopath can accurately select the medication after a detailed history taking of the patient and deciding on the power and repetitions of doses to bring about a permanent relief.
  • Miasmatic and deep-acting intercurrent medicines are given to break the familial tendencies so that all predisposing factors are removed from the roots
