Have you ever experienced such a pain: a headache like an explosion, as if someone was setting off firecrackers on your head, making you unable to concentrate or even sleep? The pain is like a sharp knife cutting through your skull that you can't ignore. This can be a symptom of migraine, a common neurological disorder.
Typical symptoms of migraine include: severe pain on one or both sides of the head, usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, etc. These symptoms may gradually worsen over minutes to hours and then gradually lessen. The pain of a migraine can be throbbing, a blast-and-pound pain, or it can be constant, such as a dull or stabbing ache.
There are many types of migraines, including genetics, endocrine, diet, psychological stress, etc. For migraines, we usually use a combination of medication and non-medication. Medications** include the use of pain relievers, antidepressants, antiepileptic drugs, etc. Non-pharmacological** includes lifestyle changes, stress reduction, and avoidance of triggers. Acupuncture** is one of the non-pharmacological** methods that has gradually gained traction in recent years, which can relieve migraine symptoms by stimulating specific acupuncture points to regulate nervous system function.
If you or someone close to you often has headache symptoms that blow up one after another, then it is recommended to seek medical attention in time for relevant examinations and diagnoses in order to get timely and effective **.
