For Migraineurs who experience prodrome, it makes a solid case for keeping a Migraine diary and being aware of one's body. (psychlinks.ca)
As with the prodrome, Migraine aura, when the Migraineur is aware of it, can serve as a warning, and sometimes allows the use of medications to abort the attack before the headache phase begins. (psychlinks.ca)

Dr. Digre notes that there are many references to psychiatric disease among people with photophobia, with suggestions that photophobia does not have any pathophysiology. (robbinsheadacheclinic.com)
Role in the pathophysiology1
Recent evidence indicates that the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells play a key role in the pathophysiology of photophobia. (researchgate.net)
Aura3
Photophobia, visual aura, and eye pain are the most common and bothersome ocular symptoms. (aao.org)

And, research has shown that migraineurs also have a low threshold of tolerance to loud noises, and are more vulnerable to motion sickness. (robbinsheadacheclinic.com)
Pain3
The trigeminal system is key in the pathophysiology of photophobia as it is very closely linked to pain sensation [85]. (researchgate.net)
For some migraineurs non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be sufficient for pain relief (Diener et al. (sciencepop.org)
It is not uncommon for Migraineurs to be awakened by the pain. (psychlinks.ca)
