How are migraines treated?

Migraine treatment usually falls into two categories: acute (to stop an attack once it starts) and preventive (to reduce frequency and severity over time). Acute treatments may include:

• Over-the-counter pain relievers (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen)
• Prescription medications (like triptans)
• Anti-nausea drugs

Preventive approaches might involve daily medications, lifestyle changes, supplements (like magnesium or riboflavin), hormonal balancing, or even Botox injections in chronic cases. Many patients benefit from a combination of both medication and holistic treatments
