Overview

Some forms of headache, such as migraine, may be amenable to preventative treatment.

Primary Prevention

  • On the whole, long-term use of painkillers is discouraged as this may lead to "rebound headaches" on withdrawal.
  • Caffeine, a vasoconstrictor, is sometimes prescribed or recommended as a remedy or supplement to pain killers in the case of extreme migraine. This has led to the development of paracetamol/caffeine analgesic.
  • One popular herbal preventive treatment for migraines is Feverfew.
  • Magnesium, Vitamin B2, and Coenzyme Q10 are "natural" supplements that have shown some efficacy for migraine prevention(5).[1]
