Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by intense, throbbing headaches that often affect one side of the head. The pain, symptoms, and triggers of migraines can vary greatly from person to person. There are several different types of migraine, and it is estimated that about 16% of the Danish population will experience migraine attacks during their lifetime.¹
