Migraines are severe and debilitating forms of headaches that leave the individual suffering from the attack literally down for the count. Other symptoms of a migraine include nausea, dizziness, vomiting, paleness, diarrhea, as well as sensitivity to heat or cold and sensitivity to sound. A migraine can last anywhere from a few hours to up to 72 hours. Another stark fact about migraines is that they actually affect more than twenty million people which lead to financial income loss, as well as time away from friends and family. A migraine can leave the individual wanting to run away from everything and crawl to a dark and cold room and lay quietly. This coping mechanism is one that will help to reduce the excruciating pain to a degree, but often without proper treatment a migraine attack can spiral out of control and leave the migraine sufferer completely helpless just dealing with the effects of the attack. This begs the question that is there a way other than just “coping” with migraines? And how can migraines be prevented in the first place.
Alternate Therapies
Alternate therapies for migraine treatment include massage therapy, biofeedback, and acupuncture as well as chiropractic manipulation. These therapies have been proven in many clinical trials to be highly successful as migraine treatment options for both the prevention of and often times the complete elimination of migraine attacks all together.
Supplements
Some of the most commonly used supplements for the prevention and treatment of migraines are Magnesium, Vitamin B, Coenzyme Q10, as well as 5-Hydroxytryptophan. Supplements have come a long way in the last decade and there are many clinical studies proving that they are highly successful and beneficial as alternative migraine treatments. Vitamin B2 is an excellent preventative for migraine treatment and studies have shown that it can actually reduce the frequency and severity of a migraine. Coenzyme Q10 has been shown to have beneficial effects for migraine sufferers. 5-hydroxytryptophan is an amino acid, which is made by the body from tryptophan; it is then converted into serotonin which is an important brain chemical. Serotonin has been proven to reduce the frequency as well as the severity of a migraine attack by decreasing the constriction and dilation of blood vessels in the brain which can lead to migraines.
