Migraine is a primary headache attack, specific, paroxysmal, with or without aura, with subjective manifestations both before and after the attack, a chronic type of headache with symptoms of recurrence, attacks at productive age and can cause a decrease in work productivity up to 80%, so that it will affect the quality of life, economic life and education globally which leads to losses for migraine sufferers and institutions where migraine sufferers attend school, work and in the lives of sufferers' families. With the high prevalence and disability rates for migraine sufferers, on the other hand, the right treatment for migraine has not yet been obtained to the maximum, it is necessary to deepen the treatment and prevention of migraine is needed, and until now there has been no definitive cure, both for prevention and treatment, so it is necessary to develop therapies that can provide more accurate relief for migraine sufferers.
