People who have frequent seizures migraine should strictly keep a headache diary so that the attending physician can distinguish in time cases of chronic migraine and administer the correct preventive treatment. The use medicines should be done strictly based on medical instructions and in any case to avoid the abuse of analgesics.

The effective treatment of migraine attacks depends on taking the appropriate medication in time. The risk of excessive and uncontrolled use of analgesic drugs can easily aggravate the situation by causing additional medication-induced headache. For this reason it is necessary to record the medication taken and to carry out regular neurological monitoring.

Factors that trigger migraine attacks should be systematically avoided (triggers). There are a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that can trigger migraine and they vary between patients. Any person suffering from migraine he should first record these triggers in detail and then avoid them as much as possible by modifying his habits and activity accordingly.

Chocolate, caffeine, artificial sweeteners and citrus fruits are reported by many patients to trigger migraines. Sleep deprivation, physical and mental stress, as well as intense physical exercise very often aggravate the symptoms. A fixed sleeping schedule and the avoidance of stressful situations should be pursued in any case. Bright light and loud noise as well as changes in the weather (very high or low temperatures and increased humidity) are often to blame for the onset of migraine-type headache.

It should be made clear that not every cranial headache is necessarily a migraine. A tension headache may well involve half of the head. Thus, many times based on the location of the pain, a migraine diagnosis is made incorrectly, with the consequence that patients receive the wrong treatment. So it is necessary clinical assessment of each patient with headache from neurologist, so as to accurately determine the type of headache.
