About Migraine without Aura
Migraine without aura, also known as common migraine, is a prevalent neurological disorder marked by recurrent, severe headaches that typically last between 4 and 72 hours. Unlike migraine with aura, individuals experiencing this type do not have the sensory disturbances—like flashing lights, zigzag lines, or temporary numbness—that precede the headache phase.
Instead, the onset of pain is often sudden. The headache itself is usually throbbing, moderate to severe, and frequently affects one side of the head, though it can occur on both.

Acute options include over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen) for milder attacks, and prescription medications such as triptans (e.g., sumatriptan, zolmitriptan), CGRP inhibitors (ubrogepant, rimegegepant), and ditans (lasmiditan) for more severe pain. Preventive treatments might include beta-blockers, certain antidepressants, anti-seizure medications, and newer CGRP monoclonal antibodies (e.g., erenumab, fremanezumab, galcanezumab) administered monthly or quarterly. Lifestyle adjustments, like stress management, regular sleep, and avoiding
