Migraines are a very excruciating experience that affect a significant portion of society. Some migraines go away quickly, but some persist and can even interfere with daily activity. Though the precise definition of a migraine varies between medical professionals, the most general and well-accepted definition is moderate to severe chronic headaches accompanied with nausea. Migraines are typically one-sided, are accompanied with nausea, and symptoms often include photophobia (sensitivity to light) and tingling sensations in the hands and feet. Visual disturbances may be common before the onset of a migraine, often called the "aura" of a migraine. There are two components of treatment for a migraine. The first component is cessation of a migraine taking place. For mild migraines, over the counter remedies can be used. NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen or Tylenol are popular choices that can be effective for stopping a mild migraine. For more severe migraines, a prescription drug may be needed. In the past, ergotamines were used to treat a migraine, with variable efficacy. However, the advent of the triptans, such as sumatriptan (known also as Imitrex) have hailed a breakthrough in migraine treatment. Often taking one pill of a triptan can cease a migraine in its tracks. Taking medication earlier, preferably right after a migraine begins, during a migraine episode will help reduce the severity and duration of a migraine. The other component of migraine treatment is prevention. There are many remedies and medications for prevention of a migraine, each with their own merits. The most obvious and effective way, if possible, is to avoid migraine triggers. Some migraines have a certain trigger, such as alcohol, menstruation, certain odors, stress, or certain foods such as caffeine or chocolate. Beta blockers like propanolol have shown effectiveness in treatment of migraines. Though typically used for heart control and blood pressure, beta blockers are a cheap yet effective way to prevent migraines. Calcium channel blockers such as verapamil are also used to prevent the onset of migraines. Migraines refractory to those medications can be treated with drugs such as Topomax or Depakote. These medications have better prevention, but sometimes have side effects that may be undesirable, such as weight gain, loss of appetite, and distorted taste. These medications have to be monitored by a medical professional as well. Surgery is rarely indicated for migraine and is often not very effective.
