Migraine is a neurological disorder beyond “just a headache.” Evaluation at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center led by Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav focuses on accurate diagnosis — with aura, without aura, chronic migraine — and individualized education.
Migraine medicine
Attacks may last hours to days, with variable frequency. Identification of pattern and triggers guides discussion.
Migraine involves complex genetic and neurobiological susceptibility with trigeminovascular activation. Triggers — such as sleep disruption, stress, hormonal changes, irregular meals, dehydration — may precede attacks but do not alone cause migraine.
Clinical diagnosis using established criteria. Imaging is reserved for atypical features or red flags. A headache diary and medication review are central.
Includes education, diary-based planning, acute considerations, and preventive discussion for frequent disease — tailored individually. Medication-overuse contributors are reviewed when relevant.
Regular sleep and meals, hydration, exercise, stress management, and review of medication overuse are constructive, general measures alongside medical guidance.
Headache diary helps
Record date, duration, severity, associated symptoms, possible triggers in the prior 24 hours, medication taken, and response. Bring it to every visit.

Assessment distinguishes migraine spectrum from other headache types and links diary findings to a plan.
Book AppointmentMigraine is often pulsating, moderate-severe, worsened by activity, with nausea or photophobia, and sometimes preceded by aura. Tension-type headache is typically pressing, mild-moderate, and not worsened by routine activity.
Aura—such as visual flashes or tingling—can occur with migraine but also with other conditions. The full history and examination clarify the context.
Chronic migraine involves headache on 15 or more days per month for more than three months, with migraine features on at least eight of those days.
Prevention strategies include trigger and lifestyle discussion, acute therapy review, and individualized preventive considerations when frequency or disability warrants it — all without guaranteed outcomes.
