Migrane prevention

Many people with migraines are not taking steps to prevent the headaches instead, they’re relying on pain relievers once one strikes.

It’s estimated that 40% of migraine sufferers could benefit from preventive treatments but fewer than a third use them.

Researchers say some prescription drugs are effective in preventing migraines or reducing their severity.

Over-the-counter drugs like n-saids, and the herb butterbur, also appear to prevent migraines.
