Attacks can last between 4 hours and 72 hours and can dramatically impair functional ability at work, school, home, and in social situations.
The development and course of migraine differs from person to person, where some experience an increase in frequency over a period of months or years and may gradually change from low-frequency episodic migraine to episodic migraine. high frequency, then chronic migraine.
Treatments for times of crisis and preventatives are used to treat migraines.
As people with migraine switch from treatment with a lower frequency to a higher frequency, the importance of preventive treatments may become more part of the overall approach.
