Migraine

Migraine is a form of headache, usually very intense and disabling. It is a neurologic disease. The word "migraine" comes from the Greek construction ?????????? (hemikranion, pain affecting one side of the head) http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=migraine&r=67.

History

The human side of migraine has been expertly captured in Oliver Sacks's book Migraine, although the book was last revised in 1982 and the science in the book is no longer current.
