Disease Explanation

thumbnail.sv

A migraine is a condition which characterizes intense throbbing or pulsing headache, usually on one side of the head. It can last for hours or even days and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Neuropathic pain is caused by malfunctioning or damaged nerve fibers in the nervous system, affecting peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and brain. Damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to pain centers, causing central sensitization.
