Today, people are surrounded by devices with glowing screens. The work of many is associated with constant looking at a computer monitor, in addition, almost everyone uses their smartphones intensively for various purposes. It is with these lifestyle features that doctors associate the occurrence of on-screen migraines, writes MedikForum.
Professor of neurology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, Don Byuz explained that some people have a sensitive nervous system that painfully perceives light. This sensitivity increases the propensity for on-screen migraines – for example, after working at a computer.
Bright ceiling lights can also provoke and aggravate migraines. Indoors, according to experts, it is more useful to practice less harsh warm light – such as from table lamps.
In turn, studies at Harvard Medical School in Boston have shown that blue light can exacerbate migraine pain – this is what pours on us from PC screens and smartphones. To protect against it, scientists suggest activating the night mode of gadgets – this changes the color temperature of the display and turns off blue pixels, the glow of which causes headaches.
The symptoms of screen migraine are also listed: unilateral headaches; throbbing pain (especially in the front of the head); dizziness; nausea.
