How to relieve migraine

Migraine is a common clinical primary headache characterized by episodic, multi-lateral, moderate-to-severe, throbbing headache that generally lasts 4-72 hours. The aim of migraine treatment is to reduce or terminate the headache attack, relieve the accompanying symptoms and prevent the recurrence of headache, which can generally be helped by the following methods: 1. Treatment during the attack: For mild to moderate migraine, aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen can be used singly; for patients with moderate to severe migraine, ergot preparations, such as ergotamine and dihydroergotamine, can be used directly when the attack is severe. Some patients with migraine accompanied by nausea and vomiting can be combined with the antiemetic metoclopramide. 2. Prophylactic treatment: For patients with frequent migraine attacks or patients whose acute treatment is ineffective, prophylactic small doses of single drugs can be started and gradually increased to the appropriate dose for 6 months, after which the dose can be slowly reduced or discontinued. The commonly used drugs are propranolol, flunarizine, sodium valproate, etc. Always use the drugs under the guidance of a doctor, do not blindly use the drugs by yourself. 3. Life conditioning: Pay attention to regular work and rest in daily life, try to avoid triggering factors of migraine, such as cold, exertion, tension, eating chocolate, etc. At the same time, we should pay attention to increase physical exercise to improve the immunity of the body and reduce the chance of migraine attacks. Migraine patients generally have a good prognosis after treatment, and the headache symptoms can be gradually relieved with age, and some patients no longer have migraine attacks at the age of 60-70.
