Which Is the Most Common Neurological Disease?

Share

Neurological issues affect millions, but one condition stands out as the most common neurological disease worldwide — Migraine.

At Aartas Healthcare, we see migraine as one of the top reasons patients consult our neurologists, especially those in Delhi NCR and Gurgaon. It is not just a simple headache; it is a chronic neurological disorder that impacts daily life, productivity, and overall well-being.

More than 1 billion people suffer from migraine globally, making it the leading neurological disability.


Why Migraine Is So Common

Migraine is widespread due to:

  • Stress-filled modern lifestyle

  • Hormonal changes (especially in women)

  • Genetic factors

  • Irregular sleep patterns

  • High screen time

  • Environmental pollution (common in metro cities)

Many patients at Aartas report that they “ignored headaches for years,” not realizing the symptoms pointed to migraine, not stress or fatigue.


Common Symptoms – What Aartas Neurologists Look For

Migraine symptoms can vary but often include:

  • Severe pulsing or throbbing headache (usually one-sided)

  • Sensitivity to light, noise, or smell

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Visual aura (flashes, zig-zag lines, blind spots)

  • Neck stiffness

  • Fatigue and irritability

Attacks can last from 4 hours to 72 hours, significantly affecting daily functioning.


Causes & Triggers Seen in Aartas Clinics

Our neurologists commonly see the following triggers:

  • Stress and sleep disturbance

  • Missed meals

  • Dehydration

  • High caffeine consumption

  • Hormonal cycles

  • Weather changes

  • High screen exposure

  • Strong smells or perfumes

  • Certain foods (aged cheese, chocolate, alcohol)

Understanding your triggers is the first step to effective management.
