39 million people in the U.S. have migraine disease – and it’s 3x more common in women than men.
Most people with the disease get 2-4 migraine attacks/month on average.
Types of migraine
Migraine without aura
This is sometimes called common migraine because about 3 in 4 people with migraine experience this type.
Some symptoms may include:
Migraine with aura
About a quarter of people with migraine get a warning sign, called an aura, that an attack is coming. This can occur 5-60 minutes before a migraine attack.
Symptoms include:
Migraine without head pain
Also known as a silent migraine, this is migraine with aura but without head pain. It affects about 4% of people with migraine overall, but may become more common for people with migraine as they approach midlife.
About 4 of 10 people who have migraine with aura will have aura without head pain later in life.
Symptoms include:
Vestibular migraine
Vestibular migraine involves vertigo (dizziness) in addition to head pain. It’s most common in people with a history of motion sickness and migraines.
Symptoms include:
Retinal migraine
Retinal migraine causes visual disturbances in one eye. It is rare and typically affects women of childbearing age .
Symptoms include:
Chronic migraine
A person has chronic migraine if they have headache pain for 15+ days (with migraine symptoms for at least 8 of them), 3 months in a row. If you have migraine attacks fewer than 15 days a month, it’s called episodic migraine.
Symptoms may include:
Menstrual migraine
This migraine is linked to hormone changes during the menstrual cycle. Attacks usually hit just before or when your period starts, and are often worse and last longer than at other times during your cycle.
Symptoms may include:
Hemiplegic migraine
This rare migraine type involves weakness on one side of the body, sometimes with an aura and not always with head pain. Because of these symptoms, this type of migraine attack is sometimes mistaken for a stroke and should be checked by a healthcare provider (HCP).
