Migraine treatment methods are divided into two main categories, acute attack treatment and preventive treatment. Acute attack treatment is generally used in drug treatment, the most commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as commonly used ibuprofen, pain-taking tablets can effectively relieve the patient's headache. Of course, if these drugs do not work well or take these drugs for a long time, they may cause side effects. Drugs that specifically treat migraine attacks can be used. Commonly used drugs are triptan drugs also called triptan drugs. Drugs such as zolmitriptan are taken when the pain and headache attack occur, which can quickly relieve the patient's headache. Of course, it is necessary to prevent migraine induced by mental factors and diet. If the migraine patient has a very high frequency of attacks,>15 times per month or each time the migraine symptoms are serious and seriously affect the patient's life, preventive drugs can be used. There are mainly several categories of preventive drugs, including beta blockers such as betaloc and propranolol, as well as anticonvulsants such as sodium valproate, topiramate, gabapentin, etc., and 5-HT receptor reuptake inhibitors such as venlafaxine. Amitriptyline, these are effective drugs for migraine, and flunarizine, a calcium ion antagonist, can be applied, so migraine drugs are mainly acute treatment and preventive treatment, mainly drug treatment.
