Migraines are a type of headache characterized by severe, throbbing or pulsating pain, often accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, or smells. Treatment for migraines aims to alleviate symptoms, reduce the frequency and severity of attacks, and improve the patient's overall quality of life, often involving a combination of acute (abortive) treatments, preventive (prophylactic) treatments, and lifestyle modifications.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility. While there is no cure, treatments focus on managing symptoms, improving joint function, and enhancing quality of life through lifestyle changes, pain management, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery. It is crucial for patients to work closely with their healthcare provider to develop an appropriate treatment plan and ask questions to better understand their condition.
