Migraine Treatments

Migraines can be debilitating and distressing. According to the NHS, migraines affect 1 out of every 5 women and 1 out of every 15 men. Women also suffer more episodes of migraines during their periods.

Thankfully, migraines are easily treatable. ‘Triptans’ are a class of medicine specifically designed to stop migraine in its tracks before it develops further.

What are migraines?

A migraine is usually a moderate or severe headache felt as a throbbing pain on one side of the head.

Many people also have symptoms such as feeling sick, being sick and increased sensitivity to light or sound.

What are the different types of migraines?

There are several types of migraine, including:

migraine with aura – where there are specific warning signs just before the migraine begins, such as seeing flashing lights
migraine without aura – the most common type, where the migraine happens without the specific warning signs
migraine aura without headache, also known as silent migraine – where an aura or other migraine symptoms are experienced, but a headache does not develop

Some people have migraines frequently, up to several times a week. Other people only have a migraine occasionally. It’s possible for years to pass between migraine attacks.

When should I get medical advice?

You should see a GP if you have frequent or severe migraine symptoms.

Simple painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, can be effective for migraine. Try not to use the maximum dosage of painkillers on a regular or frequent basis as this could make it harder to treat headaches over time.

You should also make an appointment to see a GP if you have frequent migraines (on more than 5 days a month), even if they can be controlled with medicines, as you may benefit from preventative treatment.

What causes migraine?

The exact cause of migraines is unknown, although they’re thought to be the result of temporary changes in the chemicals, nerves and blood vessels in the brain.

Around half of all people who experience migraines also have a close relative with the condition, suggesting that genes may play a role.

Some people find migraine attacks are associated with certain triggers, which can include:

starting their period
stress
tiredness
certain foods or drinks

How do I treat migraines?

There’s no cure for migraines, but a number of treatments are available to help reduce the symptoms.

These include painkillers – including over-the-counter medicines like paracetamol and ibuprofen.

If you have been diagnosed with migraines by your GP, we can offer triptans. This is a class of medicines that can help reverse the changes in the brain that may cause migraines

During an attack, many people find that sleeping or lying in a darkened room can also help.
