Migraine is divided into typical migraine, common migraine, periodic migraine, basilar migraine, etc. The types of migraine are complex and diverse. Different types of migraine have different clinical manifestations and symptoms. So, what is the difference between general migraine and typical migraine? General migraine can be one-sided or bilateral, or the whole head in some cases. The headache is mild, and a handful of you are within the patient’s tolerable range, and the symptoms can be significantly relieved after taking painkillers after a short rest. Typical migraine headache manifests as a one-sided headache, mostly in the forehead, temporal area, and around the orbits of the head. It can be confined to one part of the head or extend to the whole half of the side, and the duration of the attack is 4-72 hours. A typical migraine has a distinct interval, and the attack is almost painful for the patient, but when it does not occur, the patient is as normal, and a few patients have nausea, vomiting, and photophobia. The duration of typical migraine is long, ranging from a few years to decades, and conservative treatments such as medication and acupuncture are generally not very effective. Through continuous research and exploration of typical migraine, experts have found that most patients suffer from vascular compression of the nerves. In view of this, neurosurgery is now recommended for typical migraine patients who meet the indications for surgery. Microvascular decompression is an advanced technique with proven efficacy.
