How to Manage Migraine Headaches

with migraine specialist Jason Rosenberg, M.D.,

Assistant Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins and the founder

and director of The Johns Hopkins Headache Center

Approximately 28 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches—more than the number of people with diabetes and asthma combined.

Whether you have just recently experienced your first migraine—or are a chronic “migraineur”—you know it’s hard to predict what might be in store for you on any given day. Without warning you may suddenly find yourself in the throes of excruciating, incapacitating pain—pain so intense it can quite literally make you want to curl up in a ball in a dark room.

Typically, by the time migraine pain reaches moderate to severe levels, sufferers are unable to go about normal everyday activities. People with migraines often miss work, family functions and many other social activities they would normally participate in. Yet even though migraine is common and has such negative effects on quality of life and productivity, it remains one of the most misdiagnosed and undertreated of all medical disorders.

But there is good news. While migraines can’t be cured, they can be managed effectively through a multipronged treatment approach that includes nonpharmacologic strategies and medication. The primary goal is to prevent the migraine from starting … if an attack does begin, the goal becomes limiting the pain as much as possible.

To help you take a more active, positive role in controlling your migraines, we asked Jason Rosenberg, M.D., to share his knowledge and expertise in a new guide, How to Manage Migraine Headaches.

Dr. Rosenberg is ideally positioned to help you understand and manage your condition. A noted neurologist and the founder and director of the Johns Hopkins Headache Center, he has treated thousands of people with migraines over the years. In addition, Dr. Rosenberg is a migraine sufferer himself—and so was his mother! From his extensive personal experience, Dr. Rosenberg understands firsthand the questions and concerns of patients just like you.

“Despite your pain and your previous history,” he notes, “you are not alone in this. Don’t give up. Don’t think that you have run out of options. There are ways to help you. By avoiding the common pitfalls of migraine response, you will be able to manage your migraines and enjoy a very high quality of life.”

Migraines: Misunderstood, Misdiagnosed, Poorly Treated

Hundreds of years ago, desperate migraine sufferers used to undergo trepanation—they had holes drilled into their skulls to see relief from migraine pain! Happily, we now have less extreme and more successful strategies for managing migraines.

In the early chapters of How to Manage Migraine Headaches, Dr. Rosenberg explains the latest thinking on the causes and symptoms of migraine headaches. You will learn the answers to key questions, such as:

• Where do migraines come from?
• How powerful is the genetic risk for migraines?
• Why are women more affected by migraines than men?
• How does pregnancy impact the frequency of migraines?
• Will you ever “outgrow” your migraines?
• Do certain foods, scents, weather, alcohol or stressful events really trigger migraines—or is it something else?
• Do migraine triggers automatically lead to a headache?
• Are there any known medications that commonly cause headaches?
• What is a “prodrome,” and what role does it play in migraine headaches?
• What is HPAIN, and how can it help you predict when a particularly dangerous migraine is starting?
• What are the common symptoms of a migraine aura?
• How are migraine headaches classified?
• How do migraine symptoms differ from the symptoms of a sinus or a tension headache?
• What is a cluster headache, and how does it differ from a migraine?
• If you suspect you may be having a migraine, when should you see a doctor?
• How does the Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) help doctors determine the impact of migraines on a patient’s life?
• What is a headache diary—and what kinds of information should it contain?
• When should you see a specialist for migraine treatment?

A Multipronged Treatment Approach—

Your Best Bet for Improvement

In How to Manage Migraine Headaches Dr. Rosenberg provides eight effective preventive strategies that can reduce headache incidence and severity without medication. These guidelines will help you construct your own migraine prevention program. We also include a sample headache diary to help you track the intensity, warning signs, triggers and treatments for each attack.

For many migraine patients, it’s difficult to find headache relief with lifestyle measures alone. In How to Manage Migraine Headaches, Dr. Rosenberg discusses the two categories of migraine medication: preventive and acute.

You’ll learn about the “three anti’s” that may help you reduce migraine symptoms when taken daily: antihypertensive drugs … antidepressants … antiepileptics. We also answer important questions about triptan medications used to treat acute migraine attacks:

• What are the benefits of triptan medications?
• How quickly will I get relief?
• What are the side effects of triptans?
• With seven triptans to chose from, how do doctors decide which drug to prescribe?
• Who should avoid using triptan medication for migraines?
• Can headache medication ever make the headache pain worse?
• How common are rebound headaches when using triptans—and what can you do about them?

There’s more to How to Manage Migraine Headaches—much more.

In addition to triptans, we explain alternative migraine therapies: the benefits of continuous hormonal therapy for women who suffer with migraines … the use of Botox to block migraine pain … nerve blocks for head and facial pain … the benefits of complementary and alternative therapies for migraines, including massage, physical therapy, stress management techniques, yoga, pain counseling and biofeedback.

We discuss the interaction of diet on migraines and include a chart of foods to avoid, reduce or limit. We also examine five popular vitamins and dietary supplements that may help reduce migraine symptoms—magnesium, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ-10), butterbur, feverfew and melatonin.

Hope for Headaches

Some patients suffer from chronic migraines—a state when headaches occur more days than not and pain seems ongoing. Can this chronic pain be effectively treated or reversed? Dr. Rosenberg identifies the risk factors that appear to make chronic migraine more likely to occur—and supplies ten key recommendations that will benefit all migraine sufferers, including those who grapple with worsening headache pain.
