Description

Migraine disorders are a group of neurological conditions characterized by recurrent headaches that can cause significant pain and discomfort. These headaches are often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to migraine disorders using terms like 'jaqueca' or 'cefalea intensa', which are colloquial and should be avoided in formal contexts. It is important to maintain a clinical register and ensure clarity when discussing symptoms and treatment options.

Example Sentences

EN: Migraine disorders can severely impact a person's quality of life and require appropriate management.

ES: Los trastornos de cefalea migrañosa pueden afectar gravemente la calidad de vida de una persona y requieren un manejo adecuado.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'migraine disorders' with 'tension headaches'; misinterpreting 'cefalea' as a general headache instead of a specific type; using colloquial terms instead of the clinical term.
