How to choose

The differentiator is whether a service treats attacks only or also asks how many headache days a month you have. Above a certain frequency, preventive therapy matters more than a better acute drug, and medication-overuse headache becomes a real risk.

How it works

Complete an intake covering attack frequency, symptoms, triggers and current medication use, have a licensed clinician review the pattern, and receive acute or preventive treatment where appropriate.

What you get

  • Acute treatment that can be prescribed without an appointment wait
  • Preventive therapy considered when attack frequency justifies it
  • Screening for medication-overuse headache

Migraine questions, answered

What medications treat a migraine attack?

Triptans are the main migraine-specific acute treatment, often combined with an anti-nausea medication. NSAIDs help some people, particularly early in an attack. Newer acute options exist for people who cannot take triptans due to cardiovascular risk.

When should I consider preventive treatment?

Preventive therapy is usually considered when attacks occur roughly four or more days a month, when attacks are disabling despite acute treatment, or when acute medication is being used often enough to risk medication-overuse headache.

What is medication-overuse headache?

Using acute headache medication too many days per month can itself drive more frequent headaches. Thresholds vary by drug class, which is why a service that tracks how often you are treating attacks is doing something genuinely useful.
