What are the 3 types of migraines?

There are three types of migraines: migraine with aura, migraine without aura, and chronic migraine. Migraine without aura is the most common type, followed by migraine with aura. Chronic migraine is the least common type.

Migraine with aura is characterized by a headache that is preceded or accompanied by a visual or other sensory disturbance. Aura can occur as a visual disturbance, such as flashing lights or blind spots; an auditory disturbance, such as ringing in the ears; or a tactile disturbance, such as numbness or tingling in the hands or face.

A migraine without aura is characterized by a headache that is not preceded or accompanied by any other symptom.

Chronic migraine is defined as having migraines on 15 or more days per month, for at least 3 months. Chronic migraines are often treated with preventative medication, rather than acute pain relief medication.

If you think you may be suffering from migraines, it is important to see a doctor or headache specialist for diagnosis and treatment. Brain stroke specialist in Faridabad Dr. Kunal Bahrani can help you determine what type of migraines you have and develop a treatment plan to help you find relief.
