Adiós a la migraña

Historically, medicine has focused its efforts on serious and life-threatening pathologies. However, there are apparently harmless diseases that can also undermine the life of those who suffer from them. This is the case of headaches, one of the most common disorders of the nervous system. In fact, it is estimated that close to half of the world's population suffers or has suffered from headaches at some point in their lives. There are more than one hundred and fifty types of headaches, with different causes, shapes and intensities, and some of them, such as migraine, can become completely disabling in a person's day-to-day. Therefore, it is important to know them, identify them and give them the importance they deserve. Dr. Jesús Porta-Etessam, a specialist in neurology and pathologies associated with the nervous system, gives us the keys to deal with them and improve our quality of life. And he helps us, at last, to shed some light on a subject that affects so many people and about which so many unknowns still hover.
