Migraine. Conceptual artwork of a statue clutching its forehead
Migraine. Conceptual artwork of a statue clutching its forehead, representing the pain of a migraine. A migraine is a recurrent headache which can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. These symptoms are caused by changes in brain activity which produce inflamed blood vessels (red) and nerves around the brain. The exact cause is unknown but triggers that provoke an attack include certain foods, stress and anxiety and too much or too little sleep. In women there may be a link between the hormones produced during the menstrual cycle and migraine attacks. Migraines cannot be cured but treatments can effectively manage the symptoms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and thought-provoking print titled "Migraine" captures the essence of the excruciating pain experienced by those who suffer from this debilitating condition. The conceptual artwork portrays a statue, representing a male figure, clutching its forehead in agony. Migraine is not just an ordinary headache; it is a recurrent neurological disorder accompanied by various distressing symptoms. Nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound are common companions to this intense head pain. The image vividly illustrates the underlying causes of migraines - changes in brain activity that lead to inflamed blood vessels (depicted in red) and nerves surrounding the brain. While the exact cause of migraines remains unknown, triggers such as certain foods, stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns can provoke these painful attacks. In women, hormonal fluctuations during their menstrual cycle may also contribute to migraine episodes. It's important to note that there is no cure for migraines; however, treatments exist that effectively manage its symptoms. This artwork serves as a reminder of the suffering endured by individuals with this condition while highlighting the need for continued research into finding better solutions for relief. The photograph itself showcases exceptional artistic talent combined with scientific accuracy provided by Science Photo Library—an organization dedicated to capturing images that educate and inspire understanding within healthcare fields.
