Pain Management

Understanding this condition

A common type of pain is headache. Migraines are a type of headache. These headaches are caused when the blood vessels going to the brain get narrow and then widen. Why this happens remains unknown. Migraine pain can last from hours to days if it is not treated. When a migraine is severe, the person may vomit and feel sensitive to bright light. Prescription medicine effectively treats migraine pain.
