Abstract in brief

  • Episodic migraine attacks are prompted by various triggers, including stress, hormonal changes, weather, sleep issues, alcohol, and certain foods, although natural triggers are less predictable than experimental ones.
  • Studies show that common triggers often relate to changes in body stability or environment, with factors like fasting, premenstrual periods, and low barometric pressure being verified causes, but some symptoms may mimic triggers, making identification tricky.
  • Managing migraines involves healthy lifestyle habits such as exercise, good sleep, stress control, and regular eating, as avoiding triggers altogether isn't always possible, and these strategies may help prevent the progression to chronic migraine.]
