No, an epidural will not help a Migraine attack. An epidural necessitates puncturing the area around the spinal cord which contains spinal fluid, and doing so may sometimes cause a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak that may result in headache.

For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache specialist.
