Migraine & Headache Treatment
Migraine & Headache Treatment focuses on identifying the type, frequency, triggers, and impact of recurring headaches and migraines. Migraine may cause throbbing head pain along with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. A personalized treatment plan can help manage attacks and reduce their impact on daily life.
Comprehensive Migraine Evaluation
A specialist may review your headache pattern, associated symptoms, medical history, medications, lifestyle factors, and possible triggers. Keeping a headache or migraine diary can help identify patterns involving stress, sleep changes, missed meals, dehydration, caffeine, or other triggers.
Migraine Treatment Options
Treatment depends on how often attacks occur and how severe or disabling they are. Acute migraine treatment may include appropriate pain-relieving medicines or migraine-specific medicines such as triptans or gepants. For people with frequent or difficult-to-control attacks, preventive migraine treatment may be considered to reduce attack frequency, severity, or duration.
Lifestyle & Headache Management
Alongside medical treatment, maintaining regular meals, adequate hydration, consistent sleep, exercise, stress management, and identifying personal triggers may help manage migraine. Frequent use of pain medicines can itself contribute to medication-overuse headaches, so treatment should be guided by a healthcare professional.
