Abstract:
Migraine without aura is the commonest form of migraine in both children and adults. The diagnosis is made by applying the International Classification of Headache Disorders Third Edition subsection for migraine without aura (ICHD-3 subsection 1.1). Attacks in patients with migraine without aura are characterized by their polyphasic presentation (prodrome, headache phase, postdromal phase). The symptomatology of attacks is diverse and heterogeneous, with most common symptoms being photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, vomiting, and aggravation of pain by movement. The clinician and researcher who wants to learn about migraine without aura needs to be able to apply the ICHD-3 criteria with its specific symptomatology to make a correct diagnosis, but also needs to be aware about the plethora of symptoms patients may experience. In this chapter, the reader will explore the clinical phenotypical features of migraine without aura.
