Migraine
A migraine is a prevalent form of headache characterized by intense, pulsating pain on one side of the head. It may persist for hours to days and is frequently accompanied by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound.
Numerous factors contribute to the occurrence of migraines. Here are some prevalent ones:
- Neck and shoulder issues
- Degenerative conditions of the cervical spine
- Compression of the C1 cervical vertebra
Exacerbation of a migraine can lead to several severe outcomes:
- Functional limitations: Severe headaches can impede the performance of daily tasks like work, school, or social activities.
- Vision issues: Intense headaches, particularly migraines, can impact eyesight, leading to blurred vision or visual disruptions.
