Migraines意思

"Migraines" 是指一種常見的慢性神經血管疾病,特徵是反覆發作的劇烈頭痛,通常伴隨著噁心、嘔吐和對光和聲音敏感。這種頭痛通常是單側的(即只在一側頭部),但也可以是雙側的。除了頭痛之外,一些人在發作前或發作時還可能經歷視覺、感覺或運動先兆。

Migraines can be classified into two main types:

  1. Migraine with aura: This type of migraine is characterized by the presence of neurological symptoms that occur before the headache, such as visual disturbances (like seeing spots or flashes of light), numbness, or speech difficulties.

  2. Migraine without aura: This is the most common form of migraine, where the headache occurs without the preceding neurological symptoms.

Migraines can significantly affect a person's quality of life, and many people with migraine find their daily activities are disrupted during an attack. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, medication to abort or prevent attacks, and management of triggers, which can include stress, certain foods, lack of sleep, and hormonal changes.
