A migraine is usually a moderate or severe headache.
The exact cause is unknown, but there can be triggers, such as particular foods, stress or tiredness.
Symptoms include:
– intense throbbing on 1 side of the head
– sensitivity to light or sound
– feeling sick or being sick
Some people have migraines frequently, while others may only experience them from time to time.
If you’re affected by migraine, The Brain Charity can support you.
We are the only charity in the UK to be here for every one of the more than 600 different neurological conditions in existence. Individually, many are rare, but combined, they affect 1 in 6 people.
We provide practical help on all aspects of living with migraine, emotional support such as counselling, phone befriending and group therapy and social activities to people with migraine from all over the UK from our centre in Liverpool.
Our friendly Information & Advice Officers are here to help. We endeavour to respond to all enquiries within 10 working days.

Migraines can have a severe impact on someone’s quality of life. It is important to seek advice from your GP on how to manage and treat them. Someone affected by migraines also needs to feel supported by family and friends who understand the severity of the pain they are experiencing.
Are you a carer for or relative of someone with migraine? It’s just as important for you to look after your own physical and mental wellbeing too.
The Brain Charity provides free support for carers, friends and family of people with any form of neurological condition, including migraine, from anywhere in the UK.
We also run an additional carers advocacy service for all carers in Liverpool, regardless of which type of condition the person they care for has.
We can help you even if you don’t view yourself as a formal carer or claim Carer’s Allowance. Find out some of the ways we support carers below.
