Status migrainosus
Explanation:
In my humble opinion, "status migrainosus" is not that rarely used by medics.

For example:
1.4 Complications of migraine
1.4.1 Status migrainosus
1.4.2 Persistent aura without infarction
1.4.3 Migrainous infarction
1.4.4 Migraine aura-triggered seizure
https://www.ichd-3.org/1-migraine/1-4-complications-of-migra...

A status migrainosus is a migraine attack that lasts longer than 72 hours. It is also known as an intractable migraine.
Most people with status migrainosus headaches find that their usual migraine treatments do not help, or that they offer only brief relief. The migraine attacks can be debilitating and interfere with everyday life.

Also, some people experience complications from migraines such as:
Chronic migraine. If your migraine lasts for 15 or more days a month for more than three months, you have chronic migraine.
Status migrainosus. People with this complication have severe migraine attacks that last for longer than three days.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/migraine-head...

One of the most frequent problems fielded by healthcare providers is that a headache will not break. The term status migrainosus (or status migraine) is applied to those migraine attacks that extend beyond a period of 72 hours, regardless of treatment.
