Migraine attacks refer to a condition in which an individual experiences severe headaches, often accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, vomiting, dizziness or fainting. These symptoms can last for several hours or even days, and are typically recurrent, with individuals experiencing multiple episodes over their lifetime. Migraine attacks are thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and may be triggered by stress, hormonal changes, certain foods or drinks, lack of sleep, or other stimuli. Treatment options for migraines include medication, lifestyle modifications such as exercise and dietary changes, and in some cases, biofeedback therapy or surgery.
