General Information
Migraine is one of the common headache suffer by people as the result of our busy lifestyle, intense work schedule as well as frequent mobile phone usage. According to the WHO 2003 survey, 303 million people worldwide suffers from migraine, and in an article from 2004, there are almost 20 million migraine attacks happening everyday.
So what is migraine? Migraine is a type of headache that has a very specific set of signs and symptoms. And it often requires a proper diagnosis from a medical doctor. Typical signs and symptoms of migraine may include: one sided headache, vision
disturbances, photophobia (visual sensitivity to bright light and a preference to darkness), nausea, vomiting and in severe cases, partial loss of
sensation on the face. The person is often highly stressed emotionally. He /she can also be suffering from muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
The actual physiological causes of migraine is unclear, however,
it has been suggested that migraine is likely to be caused by
abnormal dilatation of arteries in the scalp and the brain. The widening of the artery
is triggered by partial closure of other nearby arteries. As the result,
this causes temporary disturbances of brain function.
Common factors that may cause migraine
Factors that may induce migraine headache include: emotional tensions and stress, muscular tensions in the neck and shoulders, (stiffness in the neck and shoulders), hormonal fluctuation induced fluid retention, certain foods or chemical sensitivities.
Migraine: A Chinese Medicine Perspective.
Migraine from a Chinese medicine point of view, it follows a meridian pattern. The acupuncture points along the meridian are often very tender. Migraine headache also has a close association to both physical and emotional tension. During the treatment sessions, these issues are also addressed in order to provide an effective relief in prevention of other future attacks.
