Migraines
SYMPTOMS
Do you feel that throbbing pain that usually is preceded by visual blurriness followed by
annoyance by light, movement, or sounds? Do you have nausea and vomiting sometimes when it
occurs?
You could be suffering from migraines. Even though the classification of migraines is not as simple to be documented here. The treatment is usually the same.
TREATMENT
- Medical
Preventive migraine medications are considered effective usually reducing the number of attacks
and severity by 50%. Recommended initial treatment for those with mild to moderate symptoms
are simple analgesics such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, or diclofenac.
With a combination of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. - Botox Injection
The FDA says Botox injections have been shown to be effective in the prevention of
migraines. With very few side effects, the usual trigger points of migraines can be
injected with botulinium toxin type A (Botox), and the evidence has showed to reduce the
incidence of chronic migraine headaches.
