Abstract
Migraine is a very common disorder that has affected mankind for several millennia. Many prominent scientists, politicians and artists have suffered from migraine.
This is an analysis of the relationship between migraine and the works of art of outstanding painters, composers and writers of different times; some aspects of their lives, and the influence of migranous experiences in their works. Some of these authors were aware of their illness and they used it as a source of inspiration, and often they mentioned it in the titles of their works.
