What is a migraine?
A migraine is a throbbing, intense headache in one half of the head. It can affect people of all ages. The cause of migraine is not known. During an attack, the blood vessels in the brain dilate and then draw together with stimulation of nerve endings near the affected blood vessels. These changes to the blood vessels are probably what cause the pain, but migraine headaches is a condition that is poorly understood.

People often use the word migraine to refer to headaches of many different types. So-called classical migraine attacks have several features:

1. headaches that occur in bouts of between roughly 4 to 72 hours.
2. the headaches usually affect one side of the head at a time, although both sides may be affected in separate attacks.
