Living with migraine can feel like dealing with a ticking time bomb. The pain, the nausea, and the sensitivity to light often strike when you least expect it. If you find yourself cancelling plans, missing work, or avoiding noise and light, you are not alone.
What many do not realise is that migraines come in different types, and knowing which one you have can change everything. From silent migraines to hemiplegic ones, each type needs a different approach.
At Dr Batra’s®, we understand that migraine is personal. That is why our doctors look beyond just the pain and focus on your overall health, offering gentle and customised homeopathy for lasting relief. With 200+ clinics and 350+ doctors worldwide, expert care is always nearby.
What Are the Different Types of Migraine?
Migraine with Aura
You may see flashing lights, zig-zag patterns or have tingling sensations before the headache begins. The aura usually lasts for 20 to 60 minutes.
Migraine without Aura
This is the most common type. It shows up without warning and brings throbbing pain, light sensitivity, and nausea.
Migraine Aura Without Headache
You feel all the aura symptoms but no headache. Though rare, it can still affect your daily life and is often misdiagnosed.
Basilar Migraine
This type affects the brainstem, causing symptoms such as fainting, dizziness, or vision problems. It needs medical attention as symptoms can resemble a stroke.
Hemiplegic Migraine
Severe and rare, this type causes temporary paralysis on one side of the body. It usually runs in families.
Ophthalmoplegic Migraine
Most common in young people, it weakens the eye muscles, causing drooping eyelids or blurred vision.
Insights from a global study
A ResearchGate study found homeopathy reduced migraine symptoms better than conventional treatment in 6 months.
