Abstract
Migraine is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of disabling headaches. It is also known as one of the most debilitating disorders. Approximately 90% of migraineurs experience moderate to severe pain, and 75% have impaired function during migraine attacks and 53% reported severe impairment or require bed rest during their attacks.1,2 Approximately one third of migraineurs had missed at least one day of work or school in the last year and often have decreased productivity by at least one half.3-5 Hypersensitivity to light (photophobia), sound (phonophobia), smell (osmophobia), and head movement, along with nausea and vomiting are associated with the attack.
