In terms of diet, it is important to ensure regularity and avoid overeating or extreme hunger.

A low-sodium diet can effectively reduce the tension of cerebral blood vessel walls, which is beneficial for patients.

What medicine is effective for treating migraines? The medication treatment for migraines varies depending on the different stages of migraines, as follows: 1. Migraine attack phase: You can take pain-relieving medication, such as ibuprofen, and if these medications are not effective, you can take newer medications specifically designed to treat migraines, such as triptans. These medications have a stronger effect, but they also have certain contraindications, such as not being suitable for patients at risk of cerebrovascular diseases.

2. Migraine interictal period: You can take medication to prevent migraine attacks, such as nimodipine or flupenthixol hydrochloride. If the patient also has anxiety, depression, or insomnia, they can also take medication to regulate these symptoms. In terms of food, certain foods can trigger migraines for some patients, such as coffee, chocolate, or red wine, so it is important to avoid consuming these specific foods to prevent recurrent migraines. Additionally, migraine patients must avoid fatigue, ensure good sleep, and avoid recurrent migraine attacks.

What medicine should be taken for recurrent migraines? In order to correctly use the corresponding medication and achieve good treatment results, it is necessary to understand the nature of the headache, dizziness, the form of onset, accompanying symptoms and signs, combined with cranial imaging examinations and careful inquiry into medical history and medication history. Common headaches in clinical practice include:

1. Tension-type headache, often caused by emotional tension or local muscle tension. For this type of headache, Danzhen headache capsules, headache Ning capsules, or tizanidine hydrochloride can be taken orally. 2. Migraine, often with interictal periods. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment during the acute phase, such as ibuprofen, Naoqing tablets, meloxicam, and prophylactic treatment during interictal periods with nimodipine class drugs.

3. Vascular headache, can be treated with flunarizine drop pills, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. What medication should I take for migraines? Headaches are something that everyone has experienced, especially for some office workers and students. Many times, excessive fatigue or eye strain can lead to migraines. Migraines can be very uncomfortable, and many people take medication to relieve them. However, the treatment effects are not good. Let's take a look at how we can treat migraines.

There are many medications available to relieve headaches in daily life. For acute headaches, there are two effective methods of relief. Firstly, we can use painkillers, which are commonly available at pharmacies. Medications such as Xiaofentong, Baotaisong, Selaixibu, Buluofen, and Luofeixibu have very good effects when taken for the first few times. However, if used too frequently, their effectiveness will decrease significantly, and these medications can also cause damage to our gastrointestinal system. The second type of medication is specifically for migraines, such as Lizaquatant, Shumaquatant, Yiliquatant, and Nalaquatant. These medications are also relatively easy to obtain, but they are more expensive compared to the first type of medication, and their efficacy is about 70% of the former. However, these medications can effectively reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of our headaches.

If we develop regular daily routines and maintain a scientific and healthy diet in our lives, it can also help prevent migraines. When experiencing a headache, we can frequently massage the affected area and keep ourselves in a relatively quiet environment, as being in a darker environment helps alleviate headaches. During hot weather, we are more prone to migraines because our blood vessels dilate, so we can use a cold towel to apply to the affected area. If migraines occur during cold seasons, we can use a warm towel because the contraction of blood vessels is caused by the cold. If the above methods do not effectively relieve the pain, it is necessary to promptly visit a hospital for examination and treatment.

1. For migraines, Western medicine generally considers it to be neurovascular headaches, but in traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed to be caused by excessive liver fire. Therefore, we can use acupuncture for treatment from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture can have immediate effects on common migraines, and usually, it requires about 7 to 10 treatments for effective results. We can also massage certain acupoints on our own to help alleviate symptoms. For example, massaging the Zhongzhu acupoint and Taichong acupoint for about 20 minutes each day can have a good therapeutic effect. We can also use some Chinese patent medicines, such as Xiaoyao Pills and Zhengtian Pills, for oral administration, which can have good results.

2. Our occurrence of migraines may be caused by neuralgia, which is due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction. When treating this type of headache, we can take some pain relievers to help alleviate it, such as commonly used medications like ibuprofen and aspirin. We can also take medications containing vitamin B1 and riboflavin. At the same time, we should pay attention to properly arranging our rest, avoid mental tension and anxiety. Therefore, everyone should maintain sufficient sleep every day to improve the quality of our sleep. We should also engage in moderate exercise according to our physical condition to improve our physical fitness.

3. There are many reasons that cause us headaches, such as vascular neuralgia, migraine, trigeminal neuralgia. We can also experience headaches due to conditions like hypertension, cerebrovascular diseases, cervical spondylosis, or even common cold and otitis media. To treat these headaches, we need to identify the underlying causes. It is important to quit smoking and drinking, prevent colds, and ensure sufficient sleep and rest in our daily lives.

Apply mashed ginger and onion to the painful area. We can mash and mix together onion, ginger slices, and half a cup of wine, and apply it to the area that is in pain. Celery porridge: First, prepare 12 grams of celery and 250 grams of glutinous rice. After washing the glutinous rice, cook it into porridge. Then add the celery and boil it. This porridge has a good effect of clearing heat and relieving pain, and it works well in preventing and treating migraines caused by excessive liver fire.

Migraine is a type of headache where there is pain in a specific part of our head, rather than the entire head. Additionally, symptoms such as nausea and vomiting can also occur during a migraine attack. When treating migraines with medication, it is important to also pay attention to a proper diet and reduce eye strain. These measures have good effects in relieving and preventing migraines. If we experience migraines, self-massage can be done, and it is also essential to ensure good sleep conditions. I hope this information is helpful to everyone.

The above is the explanation of what medicine is effective for migraine headaches and all the knowledge points. I hope it is helpful to you.
