There is no cure for migraine...

But... there are lots of things you can do to help manage your migraine and a range of treatments for you to try:

• acute treatments which help you when you are having a migraine attack.
• preventative treatments which can make your migraine less frequent and they can be milder.
• complementary treatments which can help you to manage your condition.

Migraine is a complex condition, and a treatment that works for one person may have no affect for another. It is important to persevere until you get a plan that works for you.
