Migraine is one of the most frequent neurological diseases. Around the world about 10 percent of the adults are suffering of migraine, more women than men. The difference between the genders has most likely hormonal and genetic reasons, neurologists assume. Typically, it starts in adolescence. After the 50th year the frequency declines again.

The duration of a pain attack is between 4 to 72 hours. The frequency varies between once a year up to twice a week. The pain is moderate up to very severe. The characteristic is mostly pulsating and only on one side of the skull; but in some patients also on both sides. Mostly, one side is more affected than the other. Often people are having accompanying symptoms like nausea, vomiting, visual problems and are very sensitive against light, noise and odour. By physical exercises the pain increases.

  1. Therapy of the acute migraine attacks

There are different types of medication to treat the acute attack. In easier cases, common painkillers can be enough. A combination with a medication against nausea can be given. But mostly stronger medication is required. Special migraine drugs can ameliorate the attack within 2 hours in most patients. This kind of medication needs to be prescribed by a neurologist. The medication has to be taken as soon as possible. Then it helps the best.   But be careful. You should not take any painkiller more often than 10-12 times a month. Otherwise there is the danger to develop an analgesic headache, which means headache by the medication itself!

  1. Migraine prophylaxis

In severe cases it is useful to take special medication every day to reduce the number of attacks, the length of the single attack or to improve the effect of the acute medication. This medication has to be taken for at least three quarters of a year, sometimes longer. Your neurologist will find out which medication will be the best for you and will supervise you through the therapy.

  1. Injections

Injections with specific nerve-paralyzing substances are a FDA approved treatment option for chronic migraine and showed to be efficient and safe in use. Our Headache Experts are using Injections in the muscles of the head frequently in migraine cases which don’t show sufficient response to the conventional treatment. Injections can reduce the amount of headache days per month significantly.

  1. Other Treatment Options

Our Experts are using a holistic approach to treat all kinds of headaches. Additionally to the medication, all resources should be used, such as stress reduction, relaxation techniques, psychotherapy, sports, sleep Improvement, and avoiding the individual triggers.
