What to do about vascular nerve headaches

The exact name of vasoneurotic headache is migraine. The principle of treatment for migraine is to control symptoms during acute attacks and prevent recurrence during remission. Migraine headache needs to avoid late night, labor, mental stress, coffee, red wine, etc., which may trigger headache attacks. During an acute headache attack, the patient can be allowed to rest in bed in a dark, quiet room. Place ice wrapped in a cloth bag on the back of the neck and gently press the painful area. If symptoms are more severe, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen; or ergotamines such as ergotamine caffeine combination; or treprotamins such as sumatriptan and zolmitriptan may be used to relieve pain. Preventive medications such as propranolol, gabapentin, amitriptyline, and flunarizine can also be used. Migraine sufferers must seek medical attention and use medication under the guidance of a doctor and in strict compliance with the doctor’s instructions.
