Migraines contrary to old beliefs are not just bad headaches! Migraines are actually a neurological disease that affects 38 million people worldwide, according to the Migraine Research Foundation, 1 in 4 U.S households have at least one person who suffers from debilitating migraines living there.

Migraines are headaches that cause intense pain with a throbbing or pulsating sensation, usually on one side of the head. Typically sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting comes with a migraine attack. An attack can cause severe pain that lasts for hours, or even days.
Migraine headaches are the third most prevalent illness in the world, and ranked as the sixth most disabling illness. Statistics show that only about fifty percent of people who suffer from chronic headaches know that they’re suffering from a migraine. 76% of people who suffer from migraines worry that they will suffer for the rest of their lives, and 37% of sufferers worried about their migraines between attacks. Studies found that approximately 12% of Americans suffer from migraines, and 40% of Americans could benefit from preventative therapies. Even though studies show that at least 40% of sufferers could benefit from preventative therapies, only one in five sufferers are currently using preventative therapies. Studies also show that over 25% of people who suffer from migraine attacks miss at least one working day over the past three months, and nine out of ten sufferers say that they cannot “function normally” during those days. At least 98 percent of migraine attack sufferers take medications for temporary headache relief, whether it be over the counter or prescription. Only 12% of sufferers take preventative medications as opposed to the 98% of sufferers taking medications for relief. Severe migraines are ranked in the highest of seven disability classes, along with psychosis, dementia, and quadriplegia, published by the World Health Organization. People who participated in a survey who admitted to a

There are many people worldwide who suffer from migraine disorders. Any episodic migraine if not treated properly can lead to chronic Migraine, which is more than 15 migraine headaches per month. To prevent this condition and help patients to manage their migraine headaches, neurologists suggest cognitive behavioral therapy along with pharmaceutical treatments. To assess the efficacy of non-drug behavioral intervention in treatment and prevention of CM, a qualitative study can be established on a focused group of people. Those who have established Migraines diagnosis, who have shown limited benefits from medication or have intolerant side effects to pharmaceutical therapy will be in a semi structured guided interview for this study. The chosen

A migraine is the most common, recurrent, severe primary headache that affects at least 12% of the adult population in the United States or more than 28 million people. Migraine is now recognized as a neurologic process. It is characterized by an intense, throbbing, unilateral headache associated with anorexia, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, and/or diarrhea and may last 4-72 hours.

Migraine headaches are the result of a disturbance in the neurochemistry of the central nervous system. They are relatively common, affecting three times as many women as men. Migraine sufferers typically report a definite pattern to their headaches, and they can report what stimuli bring them on. Most migraine sufferers experience their first attack before the age of 20. There is no single cause of migraines, but the tendency to get migraines does tend to run in families. When a migraine occurs, it means that something has altered several of the neurotransmitter-sensitive receptors located on the outside surface of the nerve cells (neurons) so that the nervous system is no longer able to constantly maintain the natural balance that the
