Migraine is not simply a bad headache—it is a neurological disorder involving brain excitability and sensory processing.
We diagnose migraine using internationally established criteria from the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3), which evaluates:
• Duration of attacks
• Associated symptoms (nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity)
• Functional impairment
Migraine reflects a brain that is more sensitive to internal and external stimuli, with research showing altered sensory processing and neural signaling.
At our center, diagnosis goes beyond criteria—we identify your unique triggers, patterns, and physiology, allowing for a truly personalized treatment plan.
