You need combined modalities
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
You have done almost all therapies for migraine, but still I will advise some protocols and some newer skills.
Pain in migraine becomes severe and aggravated by triggering factors like irritant smell, travelling.
Medications for migraine like sumatriptans/rizatriptan, calcium channel blockers, analgesic like ketorolac
can be started consulting your doctor. For nausea you can take anti emetic like ondansetran.
Lifestyle Modifications will help to reduce headache episodes
- Proper nutrition
- Regular physical activity
- Adequate sleep
- Stress reduction strategies; keep your self busy in creative activities.
• Identify and avoid triggers (e.g., tobacco smoke, strong odours, or sprays).
• Address workplace ergonomics. (Attention to workplace ergonomics and instruction in self-care of neck tension can have a dramatic effect on headache frequency.)
Many of my patients have found good relief with SKY [ XXXXXXX XXXXXXX yoga] so you can also start as adjuvant treatment with your medication.
