Answer
Migraine is a disease of headache caused by vascular etiology, common in adolescents, more common in women than in men, and most of the time there are familial factors. Migraine headaches usually affect only one side of the head, accompanied by symptoms of nausea, vomiting, fear of light, and fear of noise. Treatment is mainly pain relievers for headaches, antiemetics for nausea, and avoidance of headache triggers.
The cause of migraine is not clear. There are several different types of migraine, some originating in the brain stem (with disturbances in calcium and potassium ion transport) and some genetic. In addition, changes in hormone levels have also been linked to migraine: 75% of adult patients are women, although the rate is about the same for prepubertal boys and girls.
