Migraine & Chronic Headache Treatment in Delhi – Advanced Neurological Care
Migraine and chronic headaches are common neurological conditions that can significantly affect daily life, productivity, sleep, and overall well-being. While occasional headaches are common, frequent or severe headaches may indicate an underlying neurological condition that requires expert evaluation and treatment.
Migraine is more than just a headache. It is a neurological disorder that often causes intense throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and other disabling symptoms.
What is Migraine?
Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent episodes of moderate to severe headache, usually affecting one side of the head. Migraine attacks may last for hours or even days and can interfere with normal daily activities.
Some individuals may also experience warning symptoms called “aura” before the migraine begins.
What are Chronic Headaches?
Chronic headaches occur frequently, often for 15 or more days per month, and may include:
- Chronic migraine
