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:

Migraines occur due to abnormal brain activity and blood flow, and understanding their origin is crucial for effective treatment.

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.
