• Migraine is a common, debilitating brain disorder characterized by recurrent headache pain, often accompanied by other comorbidities.

  • The headache is accompanied by associated symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light, sound, or head movement.

  • Prodome Phase. Is a period where a migraineur experiences vague vegetative or affective symptoms as much as 24 hours prior to the onset of a migraine attack.

  • The aura phase consists of focal neurological symptoms and is present only in a subset of patients with migraine. Symptoms may include visual, sensory, or language disturbance as well as symptoms localizing to the brainstem.

  • Without treatment, the headache may persist for up to 72 hours before ending in a resolution phase often characterized by deep sleep.
