A migraine trigger is any factor that consistently leads to a headache. Common triggers include stress, lack of sleep, caffeine, and hormones, but can also include things like weather changes, dehydration, certain foods, and certain smells. Keeping a headache diary and being mindful of patterns related to your headaches can help identify these triggers and manage them more effectively.

Early recognition is key to stopping a migraine attack. The earlier you treat a migraine attack, the more effective the treatment is likely to be. For that reason, it is important to have a plan in place, so you know what to do when a headache starts. It’s important to make this a simple plan. If medications are part of your plan, ensure the medications are readily available — this means having medication in your desk at work, in your medication cabinet, or in the glove compartment of your care. It is also helpful to identify a place you can rest when a headache strikes (such as a dark, quiet space). It is equally as important to educate your friends, family or co-workers about the accommodations you may require. Finally, it is important to have a backup plan in case the headache is more severe than anticipated. These details can be discussed and tailored with your headache specialist during an initial medical consultation.

Lifestyle changes play a crucial role in migraine management. In general, migraine sufferers benefit from maintaining a routine. Regular sleep patterns, regular mealtimes, and regular exercise are all key in preventing migraine attacks. Often, modest management of lifestyle factors can result in significant decreases in the frequency and severity of headaches.

Abortive medications (also known as rescue medications) are used to stop an active headache, meaning you are experiencing the headache right now. Abortive medications are most effective when taken early on in the headache. Some abortive medications can be bought over the counter, but more potent and effective medications are usually only available by prescription. The choice of abortive medication depends on several factors, including your overall health, frequency of headaches, duration of headaches, and tolerance of medication side effects. It’s important to note that there are non-medication-based treatments to help relieve migraine attacks.

Migraine rescue refers to treatments designed at stopping a headache that is already happening (or in full force). This is different from migraine prevention, which helps reduce the frequency or severity of headaches before they start.  Rescue treatments are usually medications, but there are some non-pharmacologic treatments available for people who (1) cannot tolerate medications, or (2) do not want to take medication.
