Many people think of migraine as an occasional severe headache. However, when headaches occur on 15 or more days a month, with migraine features present on several of those days, the condition may be classified as chronic migraine. This can affect productivity, sleep, mood, family life, and overall quality of life.
One of the challenges of chronic migraine is that symptoms often evolve over time. Triggers such as irregular sleep, stress, skipped meals, hormonal changes, and excessive use of pain medications can sometimes increase headache frequency. Understanding these patterns is an important step in reducing the burden of migraine.
A comprehensive neurological assessment can help identify contributing factors, evaluate treatment response, and develop a long-term strategy aimed at improving daily functioning rather than simply treating individual headache attacks.
