Although migraines may cause pain all over the head, often the pain starts or is concentrated on one side. Pain on one side of the head is called unilateral pain. (When the pain is on both sides it is referred to as bilateral pain). More than half – about 59 percent – of migraine suffers complain that pain is on one side of the head. In fact, the term migraine came from the Latin word hemicrania, which meant pain on one side of the head, or cranium. Some sufferers say the migraine attacks always happen on the same side, in others it may occur on either side and still there are those whose pain covers the head. Studies have shown that the presence of pain on one side of the head is about the same whether the migraine occurs with or without aura – 58 percent for those with aura, and 60 percent for those without aura.
