How will my migraine treat?

Once migraine has diagnosed, your doctor can determine treatments. That can help stop symptoms and prevent future attacks. These fall into 2 broad categories:

• Pain-relieving medications designed to stop symptoms once an attack begins.
• Preventive medications usually prescribed for chronic migraine and taken regularly, often on a daily basis, to reduce the severity or frequency of attacks. These may include:
  • Anti-depressants and anti-seizure medications even if you aren’t suffering from these conditions as such drugs have been seen to keep migraines at bay
  • Botox injections
  • Erenumab, a new type of เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา drug that blocks the action of CGRP, a molecule known to play a role in migraines

Your doctor will work with you to find out what medication is right for you so you can

• Avoid potential side effects
• Ensure that what you are taking actually manages the pain
• Manage your tolerance for the medications prescribed on an ongoing basis.

Dependence on migraine medications can actually cause headaches from overuse.

Should I see a specialist?

If your symptoms aren’t well controlled using the medications prescribe by your primary care doctor, you refer to any of the following specialists depending on the types of symptoms you have:

• A neurologist specially trained in treating headaches, including migraines
• An ophthalmologist if you experience temporary blindness during your migraine attacks
• A psychologist or psychiatrist if your migraines trigger mostly by stress
• An “ear, nose and throat” (ENT) specialist if you experience sinus symptoms
• An obstetrician/gynaecologist (OB/GYN) for hormone changes
• A pain-management specialist/migraine clinic if you have access to one and if your migraines are very severe – here you will have access to the above specialists in one location
