A member asked:

What is the latest regimen to treat severe migraine headaches ?

Different Rxs:: It depends on the frequency and duration of the migraine: for chronic recurring or frequent migraines ( not menstrual) I would suggest you discuss the use of prophylactic beta blockade medication and the use of NSAIDS ( Advil/Aleve )- this is a very basic approach. More sophisticated medicines are often used under a physician's supervision.

See below: There are multiple choices of medications to treat acute and chronic migraine, with some patients responding well to one choice but not the other. For a review of the current regimens for migraine, written for patients go to http://bit.ly/1MKNPQf There are supraorbital nerve stimulating devices available or being studied that can reduce migraine http://bit.ly/1hKZ4wy
