Migraine attacks are bothersome. Anyone having this symptom often tries to find treatments that can stop migraine attacks or make them occur less frequently.
Just as there are different types of migraines, there are also different types of migraine treatments.

This will enable your doctor to make an accurate diagnosis. Your pain pattern will also help the doctor identify which treatments might work for you.
