FDA Approves New Drug that Immediately Treats Migraines

Migration Approved FDA

What is migraine?
A migraine is described as a continuous throbbing headache that affects only one side of the head. It is usually accompanied by a disturbed vision, sensitivity to light and sound and nausea. This can cause extreme throbbing pain that can last from hours to days. The pain is usually extremely inefficient. Warning signs of migraine include tingling on your face, feet or hands, dark spots and flashes of light. Taking some medicines may make Migraine less painful. It usually begins in early adulthood, adolescence or childhood.

Stages of Migraine:



Prodrome- Two or three days before you get a migraine, you can get a warning from subtle changes such as constipation, intense mood swings, food cravings, neck stiffness, frequent urination, increased thirst and constant shouting.

In a statement, FDA Office of Neuroscience acting director Billy Dunn, MD, said:-

Aura-
It usually occurs during or before a migraine. They are usually signs such as zoo vision, wavy or light vision and flashes of light. Sometimes, the aura can also be characterized by a speaking disturbance. These symptoms may last 20 to 60 minutes at a stretch.

Attack - 



Migraine in this phase usually lasts 4 to 72 hours if it is not treated. The frequency of occurrence of a headache can vary from person to person. In this phase, you may experience pain on both or just one side of your head, pulsing pain, sensitivity to light, nausea, vomiting and tingling.

Post drum- 
This is known as the last stage of migraine. Many people feel washed out and dry. People may also experience confusion, moodiness, dizziness, weakness, and sensitivity to light and sound.
When should you consult a doctor?
Migraines are usually mild and can heal on their own within a few days. But sometimes it can be the underlying condition of a serious disorder. It is important to consult a general practitioner if you experience some severe symptoms such as severe headaches, mental confusion and extreme headaches with a stiff neck, a severe headache that worsens. If you cough or strain your neck muscles and if you are over 50 years of age.

What causes migraine?



Hormonal changes such as estrogen fluctuations trigger headaches in many women. Many women have a tendency to develop acute migraines during menopause or pregnancy.
Foods like processed food, salty food and aged cheese can also cause migraines.
Alcohol consumption is a major cause of extreme migraine in people.
Stress at home or work can also cause migraines.
Headaches such as migraines, cluster headaches, sinus headaches and tension headaches are disturbed by conditions that most of us have to face at least once in our lives. Anti-nausea and pain relieving drugs are treated most of the time for headaches. Headaches usually cause unwanted symptoms such as nausea and vomiting and make us feel weeks throughout the day. When a headache occurs, the pain arises from the tissues surrounding the brain or skull because physically there is no nerve in the skull or brain that can give rise to a sensation known as pain. Because pain is only felt in your metabolism when that particular part of our anatomy contains pain fibers.

Headaches can develop if and when the thin layer of nerves and tissue that surrounds the muscles that surround our skull, eyes, ears, sinuses are greatly disturbed for reasons. Headaches may be rapid, dull, throbbing, intermittent, constant, intense and mild depending on the cause of the brain.

the treatment:

In 2013, the IHS (International Headache Society) released its latest classification system for the disease. However, the experts of this disease found that so many people are suffering from this annoying disease and since the treatment of headache becomes difficult at times. It was therefore hoped that this new classification system would help healthcare professionals to create one that allows more accurate diagnosis of the disease and therefore a better and effective alternative to its treatment.

Three major categories are classified based on the pain of the sources:



Primary headache
Secondary headache and
Facial pain, cranial neuralgias and other types of common headaches
Primary headac hass include tension, clusters, and tension headaches. According to WHO (World Health Organization), 1 in 20 percent of people worldwide suffer from daily tension headaches in their lives. Whereas cluster and migraine headaches mostly affect women and women during their youth. Secondary headaches are those headaches caused by underlying structural problems in the head and neck of patients. It is a very bad type of medical condition, which can be life-threatening at times. This type also includes hangovers, painful and post-concussion headaches.

The third type of headache that involves cranial neuralgia is due to inflammation of any one or more of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. A common example of these headaches is trigeminal neuralgia, which is caused by inflammation of cranial nerve V and severe facial pain when it is inflamed or irritated
