Research Notes on How to Treat Migraines
Treatment options for migraine headaches include medications, lifestyle modifications, and various types of alternative medicine treatments. Medications for migraines include over the counter NSAID medications, triptans, ergots, and other types of pain relievers.1 Relaxation techniques and rest are two easy lifestyle changes that can bring much relief to migraine sufferers.2 Nontraditional therapies which may prove useful in treating your migraine headaches include acupuncture, biofeedback, and massage therapy.3
Fast Facts:
- If you find that over the counter medications are not relieving your discomfort, speak with your physician regarding prescription medications which may help you.1
- Biofeedback is reportedly very effective at treating migraine pain.3
- Antidepressants, beta blockers, and anti-seizure medications are all sometimes used as preventative medications.4
