Treatment & Diagnosis for Chronic Migraines

Migraines are a highly intense form of head pain, and many people struggle with them across the globe. However, the exact cause of migraines remains unclear to researchers. Most believe that migraines are caused, at least in part, by changes in the brain’s hormone levels. That said, a number of consistent triggers have been identified, including:

  • Stress
  • Bright lights
  • Certain odors
  • Medication
  • Sleeping too little
  • Sleeping too much
  • Certain types of food

While migraines are characterized by moderate to severe head pain, often occurring on one side of the head or the other, many patients report experiencing some additional symptoms, including:

  • Nausea
  • Photosensitivity
  • Sensitivity to sound

Because migraines are a chronic condition, patients will likely continue to experience these sometimes debilitating symptoms until they receive treatment. The most common treatment options for patients with migraines typically include:

  • Pain-relieving medications
  • Rest in a darkened room
  • Long-term prescriptions, including beta-blockers and antihistamines

Frequently Asked Questions

Which foods typically trigger migraines?

Some of the most common types of foods known to trigger migraines in those who struggle with them chronically include:

  • Alcohol
  • Aged cheese
  • Chocolate
  • Foods containing aspartame
  • Foods containing MSG

I sometimes “see stars” before a migraine. Is that normal?

While not all patients with migraines report this symptom, it is not uncommon at all. What you’re experiencing is called a “visual aura,” which is a wave that moves across the visual cortex of your brain. The hallucination itself is not harmful to your brain or your eyes.
