Frequently asked questions

What is the current understanding of migraine?
Migraine is more than a headache. As a complex neurological condition, migraine is a disorder that affects the brain and can cause intense pain on one or both sides of the head. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and/or sound, and poor concentration. A migraine attack can last 4 to 72 hours. There are approximately 40 million Americans living with migraine.

  • Skipping meals
  • Sudden changes in weather/barometric pressure
  • Hormonal changes in women around the time of their periods
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Over-medicating

How do I get rid of migraine attacks?
There is no cure for migraine. However, there are treatment options. Since the severity and frequency of migraine attacks can differ from person to person, the way they’re treated can vary.

Many people with migraine use both acute and preventive treatments. These types of treatments can come in the form of oral medications, nasal sprays, injections, or devices.
