Migraine & Headache

Headache is one of the most common neurological complaints — but not all headaches are the same.
A migraine is a specific type of headache disorder that causes recurrent, throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, or visual disturbances.

At Abhyuday Lifecare Hospital, Nanded, Dr. Babarao Darku Patil provides advanced evaluation and treatment for all types of headache and migraine disorders.

Lifestyle adjustments, such as maintaining consistent sleep patterns and identifying dietary triggers, play a crucial role in preventing migraine episodes and reducing their frequency.

Migraine is a neurological disorder distinguished from typical headaches by its intensity, often affecting one side of the head and accompanied by symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

While tension headaches typically last minutes to a few hours and can be relieved with over-the-counter treatments, migraine episodes can persist for days and may require specific medications like triptans.
