Migraine is a neurological disease whose roots date back to ancient humans. Sumerians, Egyptians and Romans have all described the symptoms of migraines and searched ways to cure the disease. Migraine has even affected many famous names from Julius Caesar to Peter Tchaikovsky and Sigmund Freud. As medicinal science developed, migraine became an independent disease. It had its unique symptoms that didn’t resemble to any other disorders. Migraine attacks are not associated with increased blood and intracranial pressure, head injuries, tumors, paralysis, or glaucoma.
Medicine links migraine formation in a large part to genetic, immunological, and neurophysiological factors. According to doctors this is a complex neurobiological disorder with multi-factor pathogenesis. For this reason, treatment not only takes medical but also psychological aspects into account as well. Currently there is one clear proof of a heridatory factor. If both parents suffer from migraines, the child has a 60-90% chance of having migraines. If just the father has them it is 30%, whereas for just the mother it is 72%. Unfortunately migraine affects people more between the ages of 25-55 when they are in the most active and productive periods of their lives and this significantly decreases their quality of life. Scientific evidence shows that migraine affects 6% of men and 20% of women. Migraine has no effect on life span. It is a disease that requires constant attention and monitoring. Modern treatment of migraine proceeds with three basic methods:
Migraine Prophylaxis(Anti epileptic drug treatment)
Prophylaxis therapy is used in the cases of frequent attacks (at least twice a week) or when pharmacological treatment is ineffective.
If the patient can recognize the first irritating symptoms of the disease and can identify the causes that trigger it, he/she can provoke the attacks and try to prevent their effects. This significantly reduces the number and intensity of the attacks.
Direct attack treatment
Various therapeutic techniques are developed regarding different attack scenarios.

Today’s medicine has little effect in terms of migraine treatment. About 70% of the patients are not happy with the results of the treatments. Other ways to reduce the intensity of the attacks include medication, acupuncture and Chinese methods, and hypnosis. Most doctors apply old-fashioned methods without taking innovative research and improvement methods i
