Understanding your migraine symptoms and treatment options
Learn more about your migraines to get the most out of your treatment program
Learn how migraines develop and progress, so you can recognize and manage your migraine symptoms at all stages. Get the facts on known migraine triggers so you can work to avoid them. And find information and tools that can help you and your doctor arrive at an accurate diagnosis and effective migraine treatment plan.
Migraines are distinct from other types of headaches, such as tension or sinus headaches. Although, every headache is different, certain symptoms are commonly associated with migraines. Learn to differentiate a migraine from other headaches by becoming familiar with the symptoms, and work closely with your doctor to develop the right plan of treatment.
Gain better control over potential migraine triggers
Migraine triggers don’t cause migraines, but rather they set in motion certain processes in people who are already prone to these headaches. Becoming aware of and understanding your migraine triggers, such as certain foods or changes in weather, might help you gain better control over the frequency of your headaches.
There is no specific test for diagnosing migraines, so it’s important to work with your doctor to determine, as best as possible, whether or not your headaches are migraines. Once you have a diagnosis, partner closely with your doctor to determine the most effective treatment plan.
A triptan is one type of migraine treatment option among many. Learn how triptans, like ZOMIG, work and why they may be right for you. However, since only your doctor will know if a triptan is the right medication for you, be sure to discuss this at your next appointment.
