There are 150 types of headaches in the world and more often they are in women. But in men they are sharper, to such an extent that they can injure themselves.
But the well-known migraine is a separate species, and every eighth inhabitant of the planet suffers from it, it can be determined by clear parameters.
Migraine lasts from three hours to three days, it changes plans when a person cannot get up, causes light and noise fear and sometimes vomiting, the usual painkillers are powerless with it.
– There are many causes of migraine – this is a violation of sleep, nutrition, weather changes, menopause, critical days, food reagents, most often coffee, red wine, dark chocolate, citrus fruits, – explained the doctor. But the modern approach has found a target – this is the CGRP mediator. It is located in the trigeminal system during a migraine attack, causes inflammation and dilation of blood vessels, which leads to pain. And now new drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies, block the action of this point or its receptors and defeat pain. This discovery changed the treatment protocol a lot, in my practice there was a patient who drank 120 pain pills in a month. Now our method is the correct diagnosis of headache, for this we use a special questionnaire, and the relief of the mediator, and not with the help of previous droppers and tablets.
Gulnara Isakanova will share her experience at the upcoming largest international conference dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the National Hospital in Astana together with our other specialists.
