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?

  1. 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.

  2. Migraine without Aura

    This is the most common type. It shows up without warning and brings throbbing pain, light sensitivity, and nausea.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Hemiplegic Migraine

    Severe and rare, this type causes temporary paralysis on one side of the body. It usually runs in families.

  6. Ophthalmoplegic Migraine

    Most common in young people, it weakens the eye muscles, causing drooping eyelids or blurred vision.

FAQs

What is the most common type of migraine?

Migraine without aura is the most common among all types of migraine. It typically begins without warning and involves head pain, nausea, and light sensitivity. This form leads the list of migraine types affecting people worldwide and is also called a common migraine.

Can migraine occur without a headache?

Yes, a migraine aura can occur without head pain. This rare type falls under the less common migraine types and may involve visual disturbances, dizziness, or speech difficulties. Such types of migraine headaches are often called “silent migraines” or acephalgic migraines.

Is hemiplegic migraine dangerous?

Hemiplegic migraine is one of the rare types of migraine that can mimic stroke symptoms, such as weakness on one side of the body. Although not fatal, it requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to manage this serious type of migraine headache safely.

How does homeopathy treat migraine?

Homeopathy treats different types of migraine by focusing on your unique symptom patterns. It addresses root causes and helps reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks over time. This holistic approach suits all types of migraine headaches, including chronic and stress-related ones.
