Migraine is the first book written by Oliver Sacks, a well-known New York City-based neurologist and author. The full title of the first edition was Migraine - Evolution of a Common Disorder. The book was written in 1967, mostly over a nine-day period, and first published in 1970. A revised and updated version was published in 1992. (In the newer edition, the last chapter Migraine Aura and Hallucinatory Constants was written in collaboration with Ralph M. Siegel.)
