Chronic Migraine headaches

Chronic migraine headaches can often be a debilitating disease. Not only is the patient suffering from very painful episodes that may last anywhere from an hour to a day, but the family, friends and workplace of these people are also affected. During the episode, sufferers find that they have a sensitivity to light and sound, and therefore seek dark and quiet places. Many also report feeling very nauseated before or during the onset.

Treatment of sufferers with chronic migraine headaches is difficult. Each patient responds differently to treatment, so many ways of easing pain have developed. Physical and massage therapy help some individuals, while medical and nutritional supplements help others. Acupuncture is a newer technique that has proven effective for others. In more extreme cases, botox injections have been used, and even surgically implanted spinal stimulators.
