Vasoconstrictors may be used during the attack. Psychological** should focus on encouraging patients to resolve conflicts reasonably in order to help achieve good results.

2. Other related headaches, including tension headaches, are also mostly related to psychological factors, and patients are often irritated when they are tired, disappointed, and difficult. These headaches are often associated with interpersonal conflicts, as well as feelings such as unhappiness, shyness, jealousy,, or inner fear. Patients often have personality traits that are strong, stubborn, and cautious.

2.Combing pain points: Put the 10 fingertips of both hands on the most painful part of the head, and comb the hair like a light and rapid combing, repeat each combing 100 times, and do it once a day in the morning, noon and evening, which can relieve the pain.

3.Soak your hands in hot water: When migraine attacks, you can submerge your hands in hot water, and the water temperature should be the limit that your hands can tolerate after entering the water, and insist on soaking for about half an hour, which can dilate the blood vessels in your hands and reduce the blood in your brain accordingly, so that the migraine will gradually reduce.

Migraine is a common disease, and now there are more and more people, it can be actively used in a variety of different ways, such as traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture points and medicines, and the daily life and rest habits can be improved to alleviate the condition, and the following will introduce to you how to cause migraine.

The chance of headaches in the hot season is generally higher, so you can move to a cooler and more comfortable place to relax your body and not stay in the hot environment for a long time.

2. The exercise intensity is too high.

When the body consumes too much, it will cause the scalp, neck, and head blood vessels to swell, resulting in headache symptoms, and excessive sex will also cause headache symptoms to occur, so moderate exercise is the most important, you can take a walk slowly, let the shoulder and neck muscles relax, so that the migraine symptoms can be effectively relieved.

3. Poor posture.

If you sit on a chair with a low backrest or sit on a chair without a backrest, you will have a shrug problem, and the computer position is too low or too high, which will lead to such a situation, and must be corrected in time.

4. Dietary factors.

Migraine may be caused by eating too much cold meat dishes, drinking too much red wine and eating too much cheese, cheese will be put for too long to let the protein decompose and tyramide will appear, headache symptoms will appear after eating, like cold meat dishes and red wine The tyramine content is also very high, you must not eat too much, when you feel hungry, blood sugar may be lowered, it will also cause headaches, so it is very important to develop good eating habits, and you should match carbohydrates and proteins with each other.

Migraine is a primary headache or idiopathic headache, which refers to a headache that has no specific cause. Migraines can have a number of triggering causes:

Clause. 1. For example, the change of women's menstrual cycle, due to the change of hormone levels, is prone to headaches before and after menstruation, which is no way, this kind of women only after menopause, headaches may gradually disappear.

Clause. 2. Tiredness, nervousness, overuse of the brain, insomnia, anxiety, anger, stress or infection, fever, and high blood pressure may be the cause of headaches. Some people go to the plateau to cause headaches, and excessive exposure to the sun or cold can also cause headaches.

Drinking coffee is fun, and some people get headaches after drinking coffee; But some people can have migraines after drinking coffee.

Clause. Fourth, there are also some drugs that dilate blood vessels that can cause headaches.

For headache attacks, when acute migraine attacks, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics** are preferred**, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, which can be carried out with triptan drugs**, or ergotamine caffeine**. For patients with chronic migraine or status migraine, tricyclic or dual-channel receptor antagonists, antidepressants**, anticonvulsants or receptor blockers can also be used**.

Migraine is caused by endocrine abnormalities in the body, poor mental condition, etc., which can be caused by changing eating habits, adjusting mentality, and severe by medication**.

It can be combined with medicine**, and the head should be properly massaged, and the mood should be relaxed, and you should pay attention to your diet, and you must not eat spicy and greasy food. It may be that your body is very stressed, it may be that you stay up late for a long time, or it may be that you are mentally stressed.

First of all, maintain a healthy lifestyle, take medication immediately when symptoms appear, and seek help from a doctor in time for frequent migraines; It may be caused by family inheritance, or migraine may be caused by sleep disturbances caused by menstrual disorders.

Migraine is very complex, and some are not very clear at the moment, mainly considering the following reasons:

1. Genetic factors: At present, more attention is paid to migraine, migraine has a family hereditary, about 60%-70% of migraine patients have a family history, if the patient has migraine, the risk of migraine in relatives is 3-6 times that of the general population.

2. Food factors: This will also be involved in the onset of migraine, especially certain foods, such as pickled foods, cheese, chocolate, red wine, or patients are particularly sensitive to MSG, and foods containing MSG can aggravate the migraine of such patients.

3. Drug factors: such as oral contraceptives or vasodilators, such as nitroglycerin, etc.

4. Other factors: In places with too much light, or in a state of overwork and stress, such as high work pressure, as well as sudden events, relaxation after stress, such as weekends and holidays, too much or too little sleep, and nervousness, will lead to migraine attacks.

Migraine is mainly medication in the acute phase, and prophylactic in the intermittent phase. The main drugs used in the acute phase are ibuprofen, aspirin, or sumatriptan. Prophylaxis** is mainly to reduce the frequency of attacks, such as calcium antagonists, including flunarizine, or metoprolol, propranolol, etc.

There are four main categories of causes of migraines:

1. Endocrine and metabolic factors: migraine caused by this factor mainly occurs in women, and migraine occurs during puberty, occurs frequently during menstruation, and can be stopped or reduced after menopause or pregnancy;

2. Heredity: 60% of migraine patients have a family history, so if parents or siblings have migraine, the probability of migraine is very high;

3. Mental factors: long-term anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood swings, or irregular sleep may induce migraine;

4. Diet and medication: For example, cheese, monosodium glutamate or chocolate may induce migraine, and some drugs, such as contraceptive pills or vasodilators, may induce migraine. Avoiding these factors as much as possible may prevent migraines from occurring.

The ** of migraine mainly includes drugs ** and non-drugs **, and drugs ** include drugs during attacks and preventive drugs. Attacks are mainly treated with analgesics, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, or specific pain relievers, such as ergotamine. Prophylactic medications include antidepressants such as amitriptyline or the antiepileptic drug valproic acid.

Non-pharmacological ** includes psychological counseling, psychological**, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes and avoidance of triggers.

Migraine is a common chronic neurovascular disease, which is not yet clear, and is mainly considered to be closely related to genetic factors, nerve cell excitability disorders, endocrine factors, etc. The main methods are drugs, including prophylactic medication and sexual medication.

1.**:1) Genetic factors:

The study of migraine family data suggests that it has obvious familial aggregation, and it is found that the special mutation gene of a type of migraine patients has a certain autosomal dominant inheritance, and the comprehensive performance of the attack can be called familial hemiplegic migraine.

2) Nerve cell excitability disorder: There is a type of nervous system excitability-related gene mutation that is related to the common type of migraine, which shows that migraine is related to the excitability disorder of brain nerve cells.

3) Endocrine factors: The disease is more common in women, often begins in adolescence, mostly occurs in the premenstrual period or menstruation, and gradually decreases or disappears after menopause.

2.**:1) Drugs**:

Acute symptomatic drugs in the attack phase include non-specific analgesic drugs such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and ketoprofen, as well as specific analgesic drugs such as sumatriptan, zolmitriptan and other triptan drugs and ergot alkaloids such as ergotamine tartrate and dihydroergotamine.

2) Prophylactic medication: suitable for moderate to severe migraine attacks more than 2 times a month, ** sexual medication is ineffective, or there are contraindications, or serious side effects. Adrenergic receptor blockers such as propranolol and metoprolol may be used; Calcium antagonists, such as flunarizine, verapamil.

Once migraine occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time.

First of all, the main factor of migraine is genetic. Many relatives of migraine sufferers also have migraines, which are three to six times more likely to occur than ordinary people; Secondly, there are endocrine and metabolic factors, migraine is common in women, mainly due to the influence of body hormones, migraine attacks are also very related to menstruation. Medications may be used when the headache is mild and short-lasting**.

Surgery can be performed if the drug is not effective.

Extended information] 1. Headache is mostly a throbbing headache with reflux of one or both temporal regions, which can be accompanied by visual and somatosensory aura before the attack, and often accompanied by vomiting. It is more common in females, about 3 to 4 times more common in males, and most of them begin in adolescence, with onset at the age of 25 to 34 years, and a few occur in childhood or after middle age.

2. Brief auras before the onset of the aura phase, such as visual aura: flashes, flashing zigzag lines, scotomata, blackness and hemianopia; There can also be visual distortion and color change of objects. followed by somatosensory aura, such as numbness and paresthesia in one limb or face; Motor precursors such as hemiparesis and aphasia are relatively rare.

The aura can last from a few minutes to 1 hour.

3. The headache phase is accompanied by the presence of one temporal or retroorbital throbbing headache at the same time or subsequently. About 2 3 patients are unilateral and 1 3 are bilateral or alternating bilaterally. It can also present with total headache, unilateral or bilateral frontal headache, and, less commonly, occipital headache.

Headaches often begin in the frontal, temporal, and posterior orbital regions and spread to one or all of the head. Typical superficial temporal artery pulsation, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia or phonophobia, irritability, odor horror, fatigue, etc.

Fourth, the patient likes to lie quietly in the dark room, and it is relieved after sleeping. The headache lasts 2 to 10 hours, a few up to 1 to 2 days, and in children it lasts 2 to 8 hours. The frequency of attacks can vary from weekly, monthly, or several months to the number of attacks. The interictal period is usually asymptomatic.

5. Also known as common migraine, it is the most common type, accounting for about 80% of migraines. Compared with migraine with aura, there is a lack of typical aura, often bilateral temporal and periorbital pain, which can be throbbing, headache reflux, and vomiting. Headaches can last for several days, and can be complicated by persistent pain with contraction of the neck muscles.

Attacks are often tender to the scalp, and vomiting occasionally stops the headache.

6. This type of migraine is often obviously related to menstruation. Compared with migraine with aura, migraine without aura has a higher frequency of attacks, which can seriously affect the patient's work and life, and often requires frequent use of painkillers**.
