Headache & Migraine Disorders
The MemorialCare Neuroscience Institute at Long Beach Medical Center offers an array of research-based treatment options for people suffering from headache disorders, including migraines.
Migraine
A migraine is an intense headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. It is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
Myoclonus
A person with myoclonus experiences sudden, involuntary lightning jerks. Myoclonus may develop in response to various conditions, including prolonged oxygen deprivation to the brain, infection, head or spinal cord injury, stroke or brain tumors.
