Most common causes of migraines include:

• Stress, hunger, and fatigue
• Dehydration
• Extreme physical exertion.
• Sleep disturbances caused by insomnia, shift work, and jet lag
• Psychological stress
• Post-traumatic stress disorder and past abuse
• Hormonal influences
• Air quality and lighting may be a factor.

Treatment for migraines usually starts with pain relievers such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, anti-nausea medications, and the avoidance of triggers. Stronger painkillers such as triptans, or ergots, may be used if needed. Other medications include anti-seizure medications, antidepressants, and beta blockers. A relative newcomer to the list of medications used to treat migraines is Botox.

Neuromodulators have been shown to be helpful in treating and preventing chronic migraine headaches in adults and cluster headaches (an equally severe headache pattern with slightly different symptoms). Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic administers neuromodulator treatments for migraines.
