Treatment of Migraine
There is currently no single cure for migraines. Treatment
is aimed at preventing a full-blown attack, and alleviating the symptoms that
occur.
Lifestyle alterations that might help reduce the frequency
of migraines include:
- getting enough sleep
- reducing stress
- drinking plenty of water
- avoiding certain foods
- regular physical exercise
- Some people also find that special diets can help, such as gluten-free.
Consider seeking further treatment if the above changes do
not relieve the symptoms or frequency of migraines. The treatment of migraine symptoms focuses on avoiding triggers, controlling symptoms, and taking
medicine.
Surgery
The last decade has seen the development of new approaches
to the treatment of migraines. A doctor may administer an injection of
botulinum toxin, or Botox, to the extra cranial sensory branches of the
trigeminal and cervical spinal nerves. These are a group of nerves in the face
and neck linked to migraine reactions.
A 2014 review also showed that surgical decompression of
these nerves could reduce or eliminate migraines in patients who do not respond
to first-line treatment.
