Cotelle-Lardreau, Esther (Author)
Because it affects 10-12% of adults and 3-10% of children, migraine seems banal. Yet much of migraine (over 50% in some studies) are not aware of being, refusing to acknowledge their suffering and remaining unable to give it a name. Why, then there exist now care and learned societies units devoted to migraine, is it so hard to admit migraine? This book examines the historical reasons why the patient status migraine does not happen by itself. If migraine complaint seems to have existed since ancient times at least (a term means "migraine" from the second century AD), migraine, it is a purpose built late, which has not always was thought of as a disease in its own. Doctors and patients are sometimes given to consider it trivial and uninteresting. But if the headache is only a medical news story, how to explain the multiplicity of explanatory models and therapies, as well as the rich iconography, it raised? It is the story of this paradox between a disease that can not be named, which seems invisible (what signs therefore ensure, in all objectivity, the husband that his wife does not trick the evening when she declares that a migraine?), and a disease that produces many names to tell, so many images to show, which will be read in this study that seeks to understand, through the witness of history, lives migraine.
