Migraine – more than „just“ headaches

Migraine is a neurological disorder that goes far beyond ordinary headaches. Sufferers experience frequent, recurring, and sometimes very severe attacks of pain that can significantly restrict their daily lives. Millions of people in Germany and Europe suffer from it – often for many years.

Migraines manifest themselves very differently from person to person. Typical symptoms include:

  • mostly one-sided, throbbing or pounding headaches
  • moderate to severe pain intensity
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Sensitivity to light, noise, or smells
  • Concentration problems, fatigue, irritability

In some people, migraines are preceded by a so-called aura ahead – with visual disturbances, tingling, speech or perception problems.

Migraines are not caused by a single factor, but by a combination of several. Common triggers include:

  • Stress and emotional strain
  • Lack of sleep or irregular sleep
  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • certain foods or alcohol
  • Weather changes
