What is Migraine?
A migraine is a complex neurological condition that can also involve muscular or vascular factors. It manifests as intense headaches, often accompanied by symptoms such as:

How Dr. Meenakshi Futela Treats Migraines at Dental Gurgaon
Dr. Futela begins with a thorough consultation, understanding your migraine history to determine the underlying cause, whether muscular, vascular, or a combination.
Treatment for Muscular Migraines :

- These migraines are often missed by conventional MRI scans and require a specialist’s evaluation.
Treatment for Vascular Migraines :
- Abortive medications : Taken at the onset of pain to alleviate symptoms.
- Preventive medications : Prescribed for regular use to prevent future attacks.
Many migraines today are stress-induced and improperly diagnosed, leading to untreated chronic pain. Dr. Futela specializes in treating these types of migraines, improving the quality of life for hundreds of patients.
What Causes Migraines?
- Genetics : Migraines often run in families.
- Neurological Issues : Changes in brain activity and serotonin levels can trigger migraines.
- Food Triggers : Processed foods, preservatives, and artificial colors are common culprits.
- Hormonal Factors : Fluctuations in estrogen levels, especially during pregnancy or menopause, can cause migraines.
- Environmental Factors : Allergens, weather changes, or extreme temperatures may trigger episodes.
How Long Do Migraines Last?
A typical migraine attack can last from 4 to 72 hours . If the pain persists beyond 72 hours, seeking immediate medical help is recommended.
Stages of Migraine
- Symptoms like irritability, food cravings, neck stiffness, and depression may appear 1-2 days before the attack.
- Intense headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, or vomiting occur.
- Mood swings and lingering headaches may persist after the attack.
Migraine in Children and During Pregnancy
- Children : Migraine symptoms include pain on both sides of the head, with abdominal migraines causing stomach pain instead of a headache.
- Pregnancy : Hormonal fluctuations can trigger migraines, potentially leading to complications such as preterm delivery. It’s essential to consult a specialist for safe treatment options during pregnancy.
