Research Notes on Migraine Types
Migraines are classified according to the symptoms they produce. The two most common types are migraine with aura and migraine without aura.1
Fast Facts:
- With a migraine with aura a person may experience seeing flashing lights, zigzag lines, or blind spots, numbness or tingling in the face or hands, disturbed sense of smell, taste, or touch, or feeling mentally fuzzy 10-30 minutes prior to an attack.2
- With a migraine without aura a person does not have an aura but has all the other features of an attack.2
- Other types of migraines are hemiplegic migraine, opthalmoplegic migraine, basilar artery migraine, benign exertional headache, status migrainosus, migraine aura without headache, and abdominal migraine.3
