Abstract
Migraine is a prevalent and disabling neurological condition characterized by recurrent, intense headaches, often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and aura. The management of migraines typically involves pharmacological treatments, but recent advancements have emphasized the importance of a holistic approach that integrates conventional, newer, and alternative therapies. The full spectrum of migraine treatment, focuses on acute and preventive medications, newer treatments such as CGRP inhibitors and neuromodulation techniques, and non-pharmacological therapies including nutrition, stress management, and physical therapies. By combining medications, innovative therapies, and complementary treatments, a more comprehensive, personalized, and effective management plan can be developed to reduce the frequency, intensity, and impact of migraines. The importance of addressing migraine triggers, such as diet, sleep, and stress, is emphasized to promote long-term migraine prevention and overall well-being. The integration of these approaches holds promise for improving patient outcomes and empowering individuals to take an active role in managing their condition.
