While migraine does not yet have a cure, medicine has recently made great progress in treatment. These treatments can help relieve migraine symptoms, stop attacks, prevent them, or do both.
There are two main approaches to migraine care: stop migraines after they start (acute) or prevent them before they start (preventive).
Many people with migraine use both acute and preventive treatments. There are also approved drugs that both treat and prevent migraines.
There are many kinds of treatments that aim to stop a migraine attack or treat its symptoms. They can come in the form of oral medications, nasal sprays, injections, or devices.
Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, as well as prescription options. Can often be taken with other treatments.

Drugs that treat high blood pressure and migraine, such as beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and more.
Drugs designed to treat depression that have also been shown to help prevent migraine attacks.
Anti-seizure and anti-epilepsy drugs that have also been shown to help prevent migraine attacks.
A class of drugs — also known as gepants — that can prevent migraine attacks by stopping pain signals thought to be linked to the activity of a protein called CGRP.
