Treating Migraine Attacks

Breaking down migraine treatments

While migraine does not yet have a cure, treatments can help relieve migraine symptoms, stop attacks, prevent them, or do both.

The types of migraine treatments

There are 2 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.
