SWR2 Forum: Stinging, boring, pressing pain runs through the head; Dizziness, nausea and visual disturbances may follow. For some patients, a migraine attack is just a short nightmare, while for others it forces them out of everyday life and into darkened rooms for several days. Around 18 million people in Germany suffer from migraines. The patients include almost twice as many women as men and an increasing number of young adults. What are the causes of the thunderstorm in the head? What factors trigger a migraine and how can the symptoms be alleviated?

Hi, would it be possible to read an English summary?
I cannot understand German language, so I read you with great interest through the web with the automatic translation. Thanks a lot! Adriana, from Uruguay, South America.
Very interesting and extremely competent discussion group.
It should also be published in other media, as important information
has been communicated for both those affected and medical professionals.
Thank you
Very interesting post with excellent comments and scientific insights.
There is also important information for the affected patients.
