Migraine is a primary headache disorder. This is a common neurological condition that causes throbbing headaches on one side of the head. In most cases, migraines get severe when they are triggered by physical activity, light, sound, or smell. Generally, they last for at least four hours, and sometimes even for a few days.
Having more than 15 headache days a month, with at least 8 days of headache with migraine features, for more than 3 months is considered chronic migraine. At the beginning, migraines are less frequent but gradually become more frequent.
Chronic Migraine Treatment
In order to manage migraine attacks, a typical treatment plan includes:
Migraine attacks are best treated early when the pain is mild; start with a simple pain reliever, and increase the dose slowly until the maximum tolerable dose is reached; unless the migraine is severe or will become severe. A triptan can be added to the above medications to improve efficacy in such cases.
Nausea and other associated side effects should be treated.
You might also consider transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcutaneous supraorbital nerve stimulation as treatment options.
