Whether you suffer from migraines yourself or have a loved one who gets them, you know how painful and agonizing migraines are. Sensitivity to even the smallest amount of light or noise. Throbbing pain. And nausea that makes eating and staying hydrated difficult. It’s no wonder migraines are considered one of the most agonizing, miserable chronic conditions. Fortunately, there’s now hope.
If you have tried other treatments and are not finding relief from migraines, then infusion therapy for migraines could be your answer.
A migraine is more than a bad headache. This neurological disorder often begins in childhood, but it can continue throughout a person’s life. Hours or even days before a migraine begins, sufferers begin to experience warning symptoms. These may include:
Once a migraine begins, the symptoms worsen. Migraines usually begin as a dull ache that gradually grows until the pain is unbearable. Physical activity makes the migraine worse, often causing sufferers to feel trapped.
Migraines last about 4 hours, but they can also persist for days. Worse, they can strike several times per month. Every person seems to have their own “schedule” for how often and intense migraines appear. Some common risk factors for migraines are:
The pain continues even after the migraine is over. For a day after the headache, sufferers can feel exhausted, achy, and even depressed.
The actual cause of migraines is unknown. But recent research indicates migraines are related to overactive nerve cells causing blood vessels in the brain to swell.
While over the counter medications can help, depending on the migraine’s severity, oral medications are often not enough for severe migraine headaches. Fortunately, infusion therapy for migraines provides an effective, convenient way to treat and prevent migraine headaches.
Infusion therapy is when medication is administered directly into the bloodstream. Unlike taking a pill, which may be difficult to swallow and needs to digest, infusion therapy provides fast relief.
Patients who manage their migraine headaches with infusion therapy report a significant improvement in their symptoms. Even more promising, a half-hour infusion just four times a year can prevent headaches from returning in some patients.
