Migraine is a common disorder with a high prevalence in young women. The disease often causes great harm to patients, and it is imperative to find the cause and actively treat it. The following is an introduction to the causes and treatments of migraine. Migraine Causes 1. Genetic factors, about 60% of migraine patients are genetic, so genetics is very important. That is to say, if the mother and father have migraine, then their children tend to have migraine. 2. Mental factors, for example, some students do not rest well during exams, which can trigger the occurrence of migraine. Emotions such as anxiety, anger, anxiety, work tension, and excessive sadness may trigger migraine. 3, neurological factors, the main neurological factor is the damage of hypothalamus and trigeminal nucleus after work tension, which will cause the release of neuropeptides, and the release of neuropeptides will cause vasoconstriction and diastole, and finally cause headache. 4. In terms of blood vessels, migraine is related to the transplantation channel of blood vessel genes. 5. Biochemical aspects, such as diet. Long-term consumption of foods and drugs containing tyrosine can also cause migraine. The main foods that cause migraine include, foods high in tyramine, such as coffee, chocolate, dairy products; animal fat; alcoholic beverages: especially red wine, white wine, lemon juice, citrus, ice cream, etc.; beef sausage, meat cured products, soy sauce, etc. In addition, hunger or late eating, some patients due to partial diet resulting in reduced body magnesium intake will also trigger headache attacks. 6, external physical stimulation, such as bright light, noise, odor, pattern patterns, etc. 7, climate change such as exposure to the sun, blowing wind, cold stimulation, etc. In addition, excessive fatigue and female physiological cycle are also common causes. Treatment of migraine The treatment of migraine should firstly avoid or reduce the triggering factors such as stress, fatigue, intake of certain foods (cheese, smoked fish, alcohol and chocolate), enhance physical fitness and psychological treatment. The aim of migraine treatment is to reduce or terminate the headache attacks, relieve the accompanying symptoms and prevent the recurrence of headache. It is divided into treatment during the attack and preventive treatment. Pharmacological treatment of migraine can be divided into preventive treatment and treatment during acute attacks. If a patient has 3 or more moderate to severe migraine attacks per month, prophylactic treatment should be considered. If the frequency of attacks is less than 3 times per month, acute attack treatment should be chosen. It is directly emphasized that anti-migraine medications can cause many adverse effects. Propranolol should be discontinued if it has not been effective for 4 to 6 weeks after application of the maximum dose. Discontinuation should be done gradually, over several weeks, and abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal syndrome. Contraindications to propranolol include cardiogenic shock, sinus bradycardia, atrioventricular block, asthma, and congestive heart failure. The combination of propranolol and ergotamine can produce peripheral vasoconstriction, and there have been reports of ischemic strokes caused by the use of propranolol to prevent migraine. Methicillin may cause arterial spasm in some patients, and in severe cases may cause angina pectoris. Retroperitoneal fibrosis, pleural fibrosis, coronary fibrosis or heart valve fibrosis can occur in a few patients after long-term use. Contraindicated in patients with valvular heart disease, pulmonary disease, and collagen disease. Use with caution in ulcer disease. Migraine medications are mostly prescribed or require long-term application, so they should be used under medical supervision and attention should be paid to the adverse reactions caused by the medications. The prognosis for most migraine patients is good. The symptoms of migraine can be relieved gradually with age, and some patients can stop having migraine attacks at the age of 60-70. Once migraine symptoms appear, do not avoid seeking treatment, but go to the hospital and receive regular treatment in time.
