There are several steps to managing Migraine attacks. The first is diagnosis. Without diagnosis, appropriate treatment is not usually possible. Trigger identification and management is vital to controlling the attacks, and if that fails or is insufficient, preventive medicines may be helpful. Abortives can be given when an attack is in progress, and if those fail, rescue medication may be necessary.
For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and management of Migraine and headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified Migraine and headache specialist.
