Migraines are a type of headache that usually begin between the ages of 5 and 55 and are more common in women than they are in men. Migraine headaches are characterized by severe pain felt on one or both sides of the head. The pain of migraine headaches is often described as an intense pulsing or throbbing pain in one area of the head. While some people can get as many as 10 migraines per month, the average is about 1.5 per month.
