Abstract

  Migraine can be regarded as a highly prevalent chronic neurological condition with episodic exacerbations and is related with significant pain, disability. It also reduces the quality of life. The exact cause of migraine is not fully implicit.Migraine attacks also seem to result from pathophysiological mechanisms activated by specific triggering factors. Thus, management of migraine is an important healthcare issue. Migraine management includes avoidance of trigger factors, lifestyle modifications, non­pharmacological therapies, and medications. This paper reviews about the impact of some trigger factors and lifestyle modifications on migraine.

Keywords: Migraine; Lifestyle Modifications; Trigger Factors.
