If you’re one of the 36 million Americans who suffers from migraines, you know they are much more significant than just a headache. The intense throbbing, pulsing, and excruciating pain that accompanies a migraine can be so debilitating that more than 90 percent of sufferers are unable to work or function normally during an attack.
About one in five women and one in 10 men in the United States have experienced a migraine or severe headache in the past three months and migraine ranks as one of the top 20 most disabling medical conditions worldwide. A migraine can last up to 72 hours, and the 14 million people that suffer from chronic migraines live in fear of their next attack, knowing that it can happen at any time, without warning.
Even with numerous drugs, lifestyle techniques, and surgical options available to treat and prevent the onset of a migraine, it is estimated that every 10 seconds someone in the United States goes to the emergency room with a migraine or headache due to the excruciating pain, severe nausea or dehydration, drug interactions, or side effects from headache medications.
