Migraine is a genetically influenced complex neurological disorder characterized by episodes of moderate-to-severe headaches, typically unilateral and frequently accompanied by nausea and heightened sensitivity to light and sound. These episodes, known as migraine attacks, can last hours to days and significantly impact daily activities and the quality of life of individuals. Triggers for migraines vary widely among individuals and include factors such as stress, hormonal changes, specific foods, and environmental influences. Migraine attacks are recurrent and complex neurological events. The most prevalent type of migraine, accounting for 75% of cases, is migraine without aura.Diagnosis involves patient history, physical examination, and meeting specific diagnostic criteria. Management strategies encompass acute treatments for immediate relief during attacks, preventive therapies to reduce frequency and severity, and personalized lifestyle adjustments. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of migraines by providing healthcare providers with comprehensive knowledge about the latest evidence-based strategies for acute treatment, preventive therapies, and patient-centered approaches to care. Additionally, this activity highlights the essential role of interprofessional healthcare teams in improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of this chronic condition.
