Chronic migraine is a debilitating type of
headache disorder characterized by migraines occurring 15 or more days per
month for at least three months, with at least eight of those days involving
migraine features. These features can include throbbing or pulsating pain,
typically on one side of the head, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and
sensitivity to light and sound. The exact cause of chronic migraines is not
fully understood, but factors such as genetics, environmental triggers, and
changes in brain chemistry are believed to play a role.
Diagnosis is based on the frequency and
characteristics of the headaches, often requiring a detailed headache diary and
evaluation by a healthcare professional. Treatment involves a combination of
acute and preventive medications, lifestyle changes, and avoiding known
triggers. Medications may include pain relievers, anti-nausea drugs, and
preventive treatments such as beta-blockers, antidepressants, or Botox
injections. Managing chronic migraines often requires a comprehensive and
individualized approach to reduce frequency and improve quality of life.
