Consultation on the treatment and medication for migraine

Migraine is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unilateral or bilateral headaches, often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. The exact cause of migraine remains unclear, but it may be related to genetic, environmental, dietary, and psychological factors.

Treatment for migraine includes both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches.

In terms of pharmacological treatment, analgesics such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin can be used during acute attacks to relieve headache symptoms. For patients with frequent migraine attacks, prophylactic medications such as beta-blockers, antiepileptic drugs, and calcium channel antagonists may be prescribed to reduce the frequency of migraine episodes.

Non-pharmacological treatment involves maintaining a regular lifestyle, avoiding staying up late and excessive fatigue, reducing mental stress, and avoiding foods that may trigger migraines, such as chocolate, red wine, and cheese.

If migraine symptoms are severe or persist without relief, prompt medical attention is recommended.
