Abstract

Migraine is a common neurological condition that may be caused by changes in the weather, stress, trouble sleeping, changing hormones, and not eating for a long time. These causes can affect how the brain works, making the nerves active, changing blood flow, and making the brain more excitable, which can lead to initiation of migraines and how irritating they feel. Identifying underlying environmental factors is important for figuring out how to potentially prevent and manage these health issues. In general, medical strategies like computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can find out if there are any changes even very small in the brain structure and hence improved the overall diagnosis, but they are not fully accurate in determining migraines. Advanced machine learning and deep learning methods were created to help doctors find out about and treat diseases more accurately and quickly, since the traditional tests are not always perfect. These treatment methods include both treating right away when someone needs it and steps that try to prevent illnesses from happening. Beta-blockers, some seizure medicines, antidepressants, and a new class of medicines like calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibodies all help prevent migraines and can be used as a treatment. Chronic medications like triptans, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and CGRP receptor antagonists can help with the pain patients feel. Furthermore, non-medication methods like talking therapy, changing daily habits, and using electrical devices can help manage migraine. With advanced tools like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, doctors are now able to find out what might be causing migraines in patients in ways that go past just using regular scans. AI-driven tools look at things like medical history, gene information, and scans to help find certain patterns of migraines, guess when an attack might happen, and suggest ways to help manage the condition. These technologies help doctors perform surgery with more precision, find diseases early, come up with better treatment plans, and help patients recover more successfully. As with each passing day, AI is put into more use in healthcare, it will help make migraine research and management better by giving a more accurate and individualized way to care for people with migraines.
