June is Migraine and Headache Awareness Month—a time to shine a light on a condition that affects more than a billion people worldwide. Despite its prevalence, migraines remain deeply misunderstood. Too often, they’re brushed off as “just a bad headache,” leading to stigma, misinformation, and missed opportunities for effective treatment.
Migraines don’t stay the same throughout your life. In fact, they often shift in frequency, intensity, and even in the symptoms they cause. According to the Mayo Clinic, for many people, migraines peak during midlife and improve as they get older. Women, in particular, tend to see dramatic changes related to hormonal fluctuations during different life stages. Men may experience fewer changes, but migraines can still evolve in presentation over time.
When most people think of migraine triggers, they think of stress, hormones, sleep patterns, or changes in the weather. But there’s another important—and often overlooked—factor: gut health.
At Migraine Relief Center, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the pain. That’s why we pay attention to emerging research and patterns in patient care. One area that’s getting more attention lately? The gut-brain connection and its impact on migraine frequency and severity.
Managing migraine effectively requires more than just medication; it hinges on a collaborative partnership between you and your healthcare provider. A strong doctor-patient relationship fosters trust, enhances communication, and leads to better health outcomes. Here's why this relationship is vital and how you can find the right doctor, build a solid partnership, and advocate for your care.
For many people suffering from chronic migraines, traditional treatments don’t always provide the relief they need. Fortunately, a newer class of drugs called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) blockers is changing the game.
If you suffer from migraines, you know how debilitating they can be. The throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound can bring your day to a screeching halt. Fortunately, new research is shedding light on modern treatments that offer relief beyond traditional medications.
Migraines and anxiety are more closely connected than many realize. According to research shared by the Association of Migraine Disorders, anxiety and migraines share a two-way relationship—anxiety increases the likelihood of migraines, and migraines heighten the risk of anxiety. In fact, over half of those with migraines experience at least one anxiety disorder in their lifetime, and anxiety is significantly more common in migraine sufferers compared to the general population.
Introduction:
If you believe stress triggers your migraines, you are not alone. Four out of five people who suffer migraines report stress as a primary cause of migraine attacks.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting the brain and spinal cord. Some of the symptoms in the early stages are similar to migraine attacks, leading to diagnosing challenges and suggesting a potential connection between MS and migraines.
