Abstract
|
|
|
A migraine is a recurrent, throbbing headache generally felt on one side of the head. Migraines usually begin in early childhood, adolescence, or young adult life. Its accurate pathogenesis is still unknown but migraines are caused by a rapid widening and narrowing of blood vessel walls in the brain and head.
The classic migraine and the common migraine are the two main types. The onset of classical migraine may be signalled by visual disturbances in what is called the ’aura’ stage. Visual aura is most common among the auras of classical migraine. Common migraine (or migraine without aura) and classical migraine may be accompanied by various combinations of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
Recently we have exprienced 2 cases of migraine patients and whose conditions were improved through trigger point needling and Oriental medical treatment.
