Migraine with Aura, Not Intractable, Without Status Migrainosus: What You Need to Know

Migraine with aura is a type of headache that is characterized by a visual or sensory disturbance that precedes the headache pain. This disturbance is known as an aura and can include flashes of light, blind spots, tingling in the arms or legs, or difficulty speaking.

Intractable migraine refers to a type of migraine that is difficult to treat and may not respond to standard migraine medications. Status migrainosus is a severe type of migraine that lasts for more than 72 hours and does not respond to standard treatment.

When a patient has migraine with aura, but it is not intractable and without status migrainosus, it means that the headache can typically be managed with standard migraine medications and does not last longer than 72 hours.
