Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Since your partner has frequent migraine attacks, he needs to be on preventive medications to prevent headaches in the future.
Good medications for this purpose include beta blockers, divalproex, Topiramate, etc.
For pain relief, good options include rizatriptan tablets or zolmitriptan nasal spray.
Best wishes,
