Cogniphobia in Migraine: The Fear and Avoidance of Thinking. Cogniphobia is the fear and subsequent avoidance of cognitive exertion in people with migraine because it is believed to trigger migraine episodes. Cognitive difficulties during migraine may contribute to the high rates of burden in occupational and household functioning.
The head pain of migraine can be severe and debilitating. It is sometimes described as throbbing or pulsing. It is usually on one side of the head. Sensitivity to light (photophobia), sound, or smells may accompany the head pain. Nausea and vomiting are other common symptoms. Less common symptoms can include speech disturbances, numbness, and eye pain. Migraine symptoms tend to worsen with physical activity. A prodrome (group of symptoms that precedes a condition) can occur in the days prior to migraine. Symptoms of this prodrome can include depression, food cravings, yawning, neck stiffness, hyperactivity, irritability, confusion, diarrhea, or constipation.
