WHAT IS AURA?
Aura is a neurological manifestation, which occurs in about 25% of people with migraine. It can occur in the form of visual symptoms, with bright spots in vision, or dark spots and "failures" in vision. There may also be sensory symptoms, such as tingling, numbness and lack of sensation in a part of the body, such as the limbs or face, or even loss of strength in an arm and difficulty speaking.
It usually precedes a pain crisis, but it often bothers more than the headache itself.
