Treatment

There is no cure for migraine but several types of treatment can be applied to make the disease more manageable.

• Acute or Abortive Treatment

This approach is used when an attack has already occurred, with the main goal of stopping it. Pain is initially treated with painkillers and NSAIDs. If ineffective, drugs that balance the chemicals in the brain, called triptans, will be prescribed.

• Preventive Treatment

Medications for prevention were initially designed to treat other conditions like epilepsy and depression but have been found to be helpful in treating migraines. These are antidepressants, anticonvulsants, beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers. For migraines that are triggered by hormonal changes, hormone therapy might be beneficial.

• Complementary Treatment

This type of treatment involves a lifestyle change. This means developing certain habits that will complement the medications and reduce the incidence of attacks. Primarily, this involves staying healthy at all times by:

- avoiding triggers
- getting sufficient sleep and observing regular sleeping hours
- eating a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables
- keeping the body active
- reducing stress
