Migraines are a severe type of headache characterised by an intense pulsating or throbbing pain in one area of the head. Migraines are differentiated from other headaches as they are typically accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound. Sometimes migraine sufferers may also report nausea and vomiting along with pain. A migraine pain may last for hours or even days. Sometimes the pain is so intense that you find it difficult to work or carry out your routine activities. Migraines are more frequently reported in women than in men. In fact, women are 3 times more likely to suffer from migraines than men.

Migraine causes

The cause of a migraine may differ in individuals. However, some of the commonly identified potential migraine triggers include - bright lights, loud noises, certain odours or perfumes, stress, tension headaches, changes in sleep patterns or irregular sleep, skipping meals or fasting, changes in weather, smoking or exposure to smoke, alcohol, allergies and allergic reactions and certain types of food. In women, migraines may also be triggered by menstrual cycle fluctuations, birth control pills or hormone fluctuations during menopause transition.

Migraine medication and migraine treatment

The best way to prevent migraine attacks it to avoid migraine triggers. By keeping a migraine diary and noting down the activities you performed when the migraine attack occurred, you can identify your migraine trigger.

However, once the migraine attack has set in you can take over-the-counter medications such as naproxen, ibuprofen, acetaminophen (paracetamol), and other analgesics like Excedrin (aspirin with caffeine). However, if these medicines fail to offer you effective results you would need to consult your doctor for more serious prescription painkillers such as NSAIDS to get relief from migraine headache. Anti-emetics may also be employed to control symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

Migraine pain relief

People who frequently suffer from migraine attacks that affect their quality of life can benefit from drug-free alternative migraine treatment available today. The biggest advantage of these natural methods of treating migraine is that unlike medicines they do not cause you side effects. It has also been observed that people who suffer from migraines frequently wish to reduce their dependency on painkillers as taking painkillers regularly reduces its effectiveness in your body. You would therefore need to take stronger painkillers overtime to get the same effect.

One of the most popular drug free treatments for migraines is Cefaly electrotherapy device. The scientifically advanced electronic device emits gentle electric impulses that act on the nerve cells and inhibit pain. Cefaly electrotherapy device not only provides relief from migraine pain but also helps to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.

A build-up of toxins in your body may cause various types of illnesses including headaches and migraines. Thus, by eliminating toxins from your body you can reduce the intensity and frequency of your migraine attacks.
