Migraine is a very common primary headache, with about 1 in 6 women and 1 in 13 men having migraines. Migraine attacks can interfere with work or school, and frequent attacks can seriously affect quality of life, so the World Health Organization ranks poorly controlled, severe migraines as a major health problem on par with dementia and tetraplegia. In a 2010 survey, migraine was ranked as the 7th most severe disease burden in the world and the most expensive neurological disorder to treat. The cause of migraine is not very well understood, and a variety of stimuli such as exertion, lack of or too much sleep, and alcohol consumption can trigger headache attacks, and about 60% of migraines have a family history, which means that they are inherited. The excitability of nerve cells in the brain is increased in migraine patients, and they are more easily excited than in normal people. There is a structure in the brain called the “trigeminal vascular system” that, when it becomes more excitable and active, secretes many substances that cause blood vessels in the head to dilate and produce painful sensations, leading to headaches. Migraine attacks are very uncomfortable, and patients are often unable to work at ease, and are often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. During a headache attack, patients are sensitive to light, sound and odor stimuli, and are afraid of light, hate noisy environments, and are afraid of smelling odors that are not normally unpleasant (such as the smell of gasoline or cooking fumes), so it is better to sleep quietly. Migraineurs have high excitability of nerve cells and are sensitive to external stimuli. A variety of stimuli can trigger a headache attack, such as exertion, lack of or too much sleep, alcohol consumption, eating certain foods or smelling certain odors, being in a confined, hot environment, weather changes, sun exposure, etc. Women are also prone to attacks around their periods. In most cases, if the migraine attacks are not very frequent and the symptoms are not very severe, they will not cause serious consequences. Repeated and frequent attacks can significantly affect work and social skills, and studies have shown that there are varying degrees of damage to the white matter of the brain, cognitive ability and mood, requiring active treatment. Of course, many patients experience a gradual decrease in the number of headache attacks as they age. Some migraineurs also suffer from vertigo, the cause of which is not fully understood. Migrainous vertigo is a problem that has only been studied in depth in the early 21st century. What is known is that some substances secreted by nerve cells excited by migraine can cause changes in some cells that govern balance functions, and these changes in cells located in the vestibular center of the brain can cause a spinning, drunken, seasickness-like sensation. This dizziness is so severe that it is medically known as “vertigo”. It is called “migrainous vertigo” because it is caused by migraine. In migraine patients, MRI, CT, TCD and EEG often have no positive results, and the treatment is mainly symptomatic.
