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.
