COMMON MIGRAINES Meaning and
Definition
-
Common migraines, also known as migraine without aura, are a prevalent type of recurring headache disorder characterized by severe, throbbing pain usually affecting one side of the head. This type of migraine typically occurs without any warning signs known as an "aura," which may include visual disturbances, tingling sensations, or speech difficulties experienced in other types of migraines.
Common migraines are often accompanied by additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light (photophobia), and noise (phonophobia). The duration of these migraines can vary, lasting anywhere from a few hours to several days. The frequency of common migraines also varies among individuals, with some experiencing them a few times a month, while others endure them less frequently.
The exact causes of common migraines remain unclear, but research suggests that they may result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors that affect the regulation of the brain. Potential triggers for these migraines include hormonal fluctuations, certain foods, stress, lack of sleep, and sensory overstimulation.
Treatment for common migraines can involve a combination of lifestyle modifications, stress reduction techniques, and medications. Over-the-counter pain relievers can offer some relief, while prescription medications such as triptans may be prescribed for more severe cases. It is advisable for individuals experiencing common migraines to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.

Etymology of COMMON MIGRAINES
The etymology of the word "migraine" derives from the Greek word "hemicrania", which means "half of the skull/head", referring to the one-sided nature of the pain experienced in a migraine. The term "migraine" itself first appeared in Middle English around the 14th century.
The addition of the word "common" in "common migraines" is a medical categorization to differentiate them from other types of migraines, such as "classic migraines" or "hemiplegic migraines". The term "common" does not refer to the frequency or prevalence of the condition, but rather its typical features or symptoms, which include pulsating or throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and sometimes visual disturbances.
