== A migraine headache is a neurological disorder characterized by intense head pain that lasts from 4 hours to 4 days. The pain is just the start of a migraine, however, as migraines actually herald a whole host of changes to the entire body.

There are two main types of migraine headache, but there are many sub-categories. The two main types are common migraine, or migraine without aura, and classic migraine - migraine with aura.

When a doctor is trying to diagnose migraine, they will be looking for:

1. More than one episode of head pain with intense throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head.

2. How long the headache lasts

2. Sensitivity to light

3. Nausea

Below is a related question: What are the symptoms of a migraine? This describes the symptoms and phases of a migraine attack. Please note that you do not have to have all of the symptoms to be diagnosed with migraines.
