An abdominal migraine is a type of migraine primarily affecting the stomach, rather than the head. It is most commonly seen in children but can occasionally affect adults. Unlike a typical Migraine, this condition is marked by recurrent episodes of moderate to severe abdominal pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. These episodes can last for several hours and may interfere with daily activities, although the person may be symptom-free between episodes.
The exact cause is not fully understood, but abdominal migraines are believed to be linked to neurological and genetic factors, and may be triggered by stress, certain foods, or lack of sleep. A proper diagnosis often requires ruling out other gastrointestinal issues, making it important to consult a qualified Migraine headache Doctor.
At Advance Pain Care Clinic, Dr. Sachin Mittal (Pain Physician) evaluates such cases through detailed clinical assessments and offers evidence-based treatment strategies. Management typically includes lifestyle modifications, preventive medication, and addressing any underlying triggers.
