Migraine Headache

Choose a preferred language

Migraine headaches are a strong type of headache. They can occur at any age, but usually start between the ages of 10 and 30. Migraines happen less often as a person gets older and often stop completely after age 50. If you have a migraine once, you will likely have another one at some point.
