Migraines - Genetic research

Migraine headaches are a huge health problem. In a 2004 report, the World Health Organization (WHO) called migraines and headache disorders a global public health calamity. Migraines and other chronic headache conditions are disabling. In the same report, the WHO ranked migraine as one of the top twenty conditions in the world to cause years of healthy life lost due to disability. Migraines and all other headache disorders combined rank in the top ten causes of disability.

Causes of migraine crisis

Although they did some research, it is not known yet sure which are the elements that cause migraines. Supposedly there are a series of elements that we add over time and that, once reached "critical mass" cause pain parity. The migraine’s triggers differ from one individual to another, but many sufferers said that certain foods or combinations of foods trigger migraine crisis. Science disagrees with this theory. They did some studies on the role of certain foods to trigger migraine, but could not reach a conclusion pertinent. Although trigger migraine crisis may be theoretical speaking, any food, sufferers have prepared lists of foods that cause pain. There are some foods that appear on the lists of many personae migraine sufferers. These foods are: Cheese - is a trigger for many sufferers of migraine, especially the cheese house or consistency.

The word migraine was borrowed from Old French migraigne (originally as "megrim", but respelled in 1777 on a contemporary French model). The French term derived from a vulgar pronunciation of the Late Latin word hemicrania, itself based on Greek hemikrania, from Greek roots for "half" and "skull". The typical migraine headache is unilateral and pulsating, lasting from 4 to 72 hours; symptoms include nausea, vomiting, photophobia (increased sensitivity to light), and phonophobia (increased sensitivity to sound).Approximately one-third of people who suffer migraine headache perceive an aura—unusual visual, olfactory, or other sensory experiences that are a sign that the migraine will soon occur. Initial treatment is with analgesics for the headache, ...
