More than just a headache
Migraines are a complex neurological condition affecting over one billion people worldwide. They involve changes in brain chemistry and nervous system function that produce debilitating headaches, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and in some cases visual aura.
Signs it is time to see a neurologist
If you experience headaches on more than 15 days per month, or if standard medications are no longer effective, these are strong indicators that a specialist assessment is warranted.
A neurological evaluation can identify your migraine triggers, classify your migraine type, and open access to preventive treatments including beta-blockers, antiepileptic agents, or botulinum toxin therapy: all of which have strong clinical evidence for reducing migraine frequency and severity.
