Unilateral throbbing type moderate to severe intensity headache could be a common manifestation of the migraine, through it may present with varied presentation. In modern science, currently no cure for migraine, despite the fact that various medicines are accessible to help facilitate the manifestation. It only helps erase the symptoms.
