Migraine Is More Than a Headache: A Neurologist Explains the Four Stages

Migraine is a neurological condition that can involve nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound, not just head pain. A typical attack can unfold in four stages: a premonitory (prodrome) phase 24–48 hours earlier with symptoms like cravings, irritability, poor concentration, and insomnia; an aura phase for some people, with visual or sensory disturbances linked to slow waves of brain activity; the headache phase, often lasting 4–72 hours and associated with pathways involving nausea and pain-signalling chemicals such as CGRP; and a postdrome “migraine hangover” marked by fatigue and brain fog. Recognizing stages can help people treat earlier, consider migraine-specific medications or preventives if attacks are frequent, and allow recovery time to avoid overlapping attacks, while seeking medical advice for unusual symptoms or treatment considerations such as migraine with aura and hormonal contraception.
