Migraines affect people of all genders and ages. Research shows that migraine affects roughly 1 in 5 women and about 1 in 15 men. Men can experience the same symptoms as women but may be less likely to seek diagnosis or treatment. Children can also have migraines, often with shorter attacks and symptoms such as nausea, stomach pain, or sensitivity to light and sound.
