In the first part of this migraine review article, we will look at
the epidemiology of this diathesis, as
well as the International Headache
Society’s diagnostic criteria, some of
which are possibly contradictory as
well as nosologically questionable.
The 5 phases of a migraine headache are then described, followed
by the pathophysiology of migraine.
abstract:
“It is estimated that more than 30 million
people in the United States have one or more
migraine headaches a year.”
