Understanding Migraine Headaches Migraine is not just a headache; it's a complex neurological condition that can affect the whole body and can result in many symptoms, some of which may be disabling. Migraines generally are categorized into several types, including: Migraine with Aura: This type involves visual disturbances and other neurological symptoms that appear about 10 to 60 minutes before the actual headache. Migraine without Aura: The most common type, characterized by a headache on one side of the head without the preceding aura. Chronic Migraine: When headaches occur on 15 or more days a month for more than three months. Hemiplegic Migraine: A rare form involving temporary paralysis (hemiplegia) or neurological or sensory changes on one side of the body before or during the headache.
