Migraine treatment: Any headache must be viewed as a valid medical disorder and the headache assessment must be comprehensive. Once a diagnosis of migraine has been made, effective management of migraine involves three specific strategies: 1) patient education, 2) nonpharmacological management, and 3) pharmacological (medical) management. Rec.: see an orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation.

Severe Migraines: 1. Find out what triggers it, and avoid all known and possible triggers; 2. Sometimes migraines are triggered by some medications; 3. Your family physician may offer medications to prevent the headaches. 4. Migraines treatment is very, very individual and time-consuming, but usually successful, with proper attention to the details.

Migraines treatment : If you are having frequent migraines, see a neurologist. A triptan should be added and is migraine specific. If they are serve and debilitating, a preventive medication needs to be added.
