A doctor has provided 1 answer
E.R. or neurologist: There are a variety of medications that can stop a migraine after it has started, as well as help to prevent migraines from occurring in the first place. Severe, intractable means visiting an E.R. or calling one's personal neurologist. Also, it is important to keep a headache diary to determine when when one gets headaches and possible triggers (chocolate, caffeine, menstruation, etc).
