A complex neurological condition called migraine is characterised by recurrent, severe headache attacks that are frequently accompanied by other crippling symptoms. Millions of individuals around the world are impacted by it, with women being more frequently affected than males. Migraines can considerably interfere with a person's everyday life and range in duration, intensity, and accompanying symptoms.

Migraines are often classified into two main types: migraine with aura and migraine without aura. Aura refers to a range of sensory disturbances that some individuals experience before or during the headache phase. These disturbances can include visual changes like seeing flashing lights or zigzag patterns, temporary loss of vision, tingling or numbness in the face or hands, difficulty speaking, or confusion. Not all migraine sufferers experience aura, and those who do may not have it with every migraine episode.
