Migraine is described as a primary headache disorder and is a common condition. It produces a headache that is moderate to severe, and that is generally one-sided, pulsating, and capable of lasting for hours.

For instance vomiting. Tending to be more common in women, at a ratio of around 2:1, migraines most commonly begin during puberty and are more likely to affect people aged between 35 and 45.
