A disabling, chronic, neurovascular headache condition is migraine. In women, the disease is more prevalent than in men during their adulthood. The average age for males and females at the onset of migraine is 7.2 and 10.9 years, respectively, and the peak prevalence of migraine between the two sexes is estimated to be between 25 and 55 years of age. It has been estimated that about 30 percent of women and 17 percent of men between the ages of 21 and 34 are affected by migraine (Lipton RB2007& R. Allan purdy2008). Migraine has also been described as a contributing factor in the quality of life, social activities, and family life of patients with a massive one-year monetary loss due to reduced productivity (Liptan RB 2015, Mathew N T 2005 & Stewart WF 1996). Migraine prevalence in children is estimated to be between 3% and 10% worldwide (Ishaq Abu-Arafeh et al 2010). Around 69% of kids with migraine headaches have also been reported (Powers et al 2013). When they are 15 years of age, up to 75 percent of children experience a severe headache. It has been documented that up to 10.6% of children between the ages of 5 and 15 and up to 28% of older teenagers have migraine. A systematic pediatric headache study found that 24% to 90% of children experience headaches, with an overall incidence of 58.4% and a similar incidence in boys and girls in school-age children (Arafeh ia et al 210). The particular pathophysiology of migraine remains far from well elucidated, rendering it a dynamic multifactorial medical disorder (Liptan RB 2001). Mechanisms that involve vascular, neurological, and neuro-inflammatory pathways are generally recognized among the various pathophysiological mechanisms proposed for migraine (Galletti F 2009). Dietary factors, environmental factors, physical factors, and lifestyle changes are the causative factors for migraine. Although the occurrence and severity of migraine vary widely among the population, it is commonly accepted that migraine has a major effect on the health and well-being of the individual affected (Dawn et al., 2009). Occupational, educational, social, leisure and family duties are affected by migraines. There is a strong link with impairment in the incidence of migraines.

Based on the breakthrough understanding that virtually all headaches are forms of migraine--because migraine is not a specific type of headache, but the built-in mechanism that causes headaches of all kinds, along with neck stiffness, sinus congestion, dizziness, and other problems--Dr. Buchholz's Heal Your Headache puts headache sufferers back in control of their lives with a simple, transforming program: Step 1: Avoid the "Quick Fix." Too often painkillers only make matters worse because of the crippling complication known as rebound. Step 2: Reduce Your Triggers. The crux of the program: a migraine diet that eliminates the foods that push headache sufferers over the top. Step 3: Raise Your Threshold. When diet and other lifestyle changes aren't enough, preventive medication can help stay the course. That's it: in three steps turn your headache problems around.

Eight simple and relaxing yoga sequences for fibromyalgia patients looking to manage their pain, alleviate their fatigue, and improve their overall well-being Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain in muscles, ligaments, and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points (places on the body where slight pressure causes pain). Although mainstream medicine has yet to devise a successful plan for treating fibromyalgia, yoga offers sensible strategies for managing—and sometimes overcoming—the pain. Written by a yoga teacher and suitable for both yoga novices and veterans, this book is grounded in simple movements, breathing techniques, and guided visualization and relaxation sessions. Readers learn to reduce stress and manage fibromyalgia through eight sequences: four for pain relief, one to diminish fatigue and improve sleep, and three for maintaining body awareness and general flexibility. The author’s simple, supportive language and mixture of theory, practice, and the latest scientific data offer hope for one of today's most challenging health conditions.

Headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system. They are pandemic and, in many cases, they are recurrent and can accompany the patient for the whole life. These disorders impose a substantial burden on headache sufferers, on their families and on society: the individual impact is measured by the frequency and severity of attacks, while the societal burden is measured in terms of loss of activity at work and school as well as of costs for the health system. As a matter of facts, headaches are ranked in the top ten, and maybe the top five, causes of disability worldwide: they are therefore extraordinarily common. Population-based studies have mostly focused on migraine, which, even if it is the most frequently studied headache disorder, is not the most common . Other types of headache, such as the more prevalent TTH and sub-types of the more disabling chronic daily headache, have so far received less attention and need to be better investigated. This book will provide a useful tool to a wide medical population, who is required specific skills to diagnose and manage these frequent and often disabling disorders .Furthermore, it could also represents a compendium for medical students who are usually introduced to this topic through multidisciplinary university programmes.
