GlossaryMigraine

intense headache often accompanied by nausea and light sensitivity

A migraine is a type of headache characterized by intense, throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head. It often comes with additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can last for hours to days and may be preceded by sensory disturbances known as auras. They are believed to be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors.
