Migraine is a common clinical problem characterized by episodic attacks
of head pain and associated symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light,
sound, or head movement.
It is generally thought of as a headache problem, but
it has become apparent in recent years that many patients suffer symptoms from
migraine who do not have severe headaches as a dominant symptom.
These
patients may have a primary complaint of dizziness, of ear pain, of ear or head
fullness, “sinus” pressure, and even fluctuating hearing loss. Fortunately,
treatment regimens long established for the treatment of “classic” migraine
headaches are generally effective against these “atypical” symptoms of migraine.
