One of the most common, yet very bothersome pain conditions which can cause a lot of stress for a patient is migraines. Though there can be a vast majority of different headaches (Tension-type headache, Cluster headache, cervicogenic headache, Occipital neuralgia etc.),The most common headache disorder for which patients' seek medical attention, is Migraine affecting almost 85-90% of the population. Tension type headache patients usually take over the counter medicines and rarely visit a doctor unless its chronic.

It is vital to identify the type of headache that the patient is suffering from. A lot of patients are misclassified as having tension-type headaches and thus the treatment doesn’t work. At Noida Pain Management Clinic, our aim is to provide treatment of migraine with a few medicines and some lifestyle changes.  Most patients of Migraines live a normal pain-free life. 

Migraine-A very common type of headache usually occurs in the age group of 25-55 years, mostly females. In a large majority of patients, this can be very stressful. 20-30 years back, it was said that a person will have to live with migraine for his whole life but now a lot has changed. Now we have very effective and safe medications which can give long-lasting relief to patients.

Management- Migraine treatment is different from other chronic pain conditions as it involves a close association of patients with doctors for best results. We at Noida Pain Management Clinic make it a point to educate patients about all aspects of migraine for the best results from migraine pain. We incorporate the following suggestions in our treatment protocol

  1. Regular walk and exercise are initially advised. 
  2. Regular meal pattern- Fasting or missing a meal should be avoided. Patients are advised to eat at regular intervals as fasting may trigger an attack of migraine. 
  3. Medicines- Most patients get long-lasting relief with the use of medicines. There are more than 6-7 types of nerve medicines for migraine which are very helpful for most patients. Almost 80-90% of migraine patients can be easily managed with medicines and lifestyle changes. 
  4. Cervical facet joint block- These blocks are usually done for cervicogenic headache and their role in migraine is very limited. 
  5. Botox injection and various other nerve blocks in those patients who are not responding to medical treatment.
