Migraine is a common type of headache in life. It is different from headache. It often occurs on one side or both sides. What is the cause of migraine? What are the methods of treating migraine? The following is the reason and treatment of migraine I sorted out for you. I hope it will be useful to you!
1. Climatic factors
Weather changes, especially hot, cloudy or humid weather and severe weather changes are easy to induce migraine.
2. Sleep factors
Lack of sleep, excessive sleep and irregular sleep are the common causes of migraine.
3. Mental factors
High mental and psychological pressure, depression or violent emotional changes: the fast-paced social environment, unhappiness and pressure in life and work, and careful consideration of various affairs and relationships often make people nervous and depressed, resulting in migraine.
4. Dietary factors
Some foods can cause changes in the internal environment, leading to migraine. Some food additives and beverages, such as some red wine, dairy products, cheese, especially hard cheese, coffee, hot dogs, chocolate, yeast, artificial sweets, pickles and monosodium glutamate.
5. Drug factors
Some people are susceptible to typical migraine attacks after taking xintongding, Xiaoxintong or nitroglycerin. Some drugs can also cause migraine, such as oral vasodilators, contraceptives, hormone replacement drugs and so on.
1. When you have a headache, immerse your hands in a basin of hot water (keep the water temperature at about 60 ℃) for about 30 minutes. The headache will ease or disappear. This is because migraine is caused by congestion of cerebral blood vessels and compression of cerebral nerves. When the blood vessels in the hand expand and the blood flow gathers in the hand, the amount of cerebral vascular congestion will be relatively reduced, the blood vessel expansion will also be reduced, the compression will be reduced, and the pain will gradually disappear.
2. Ice pack cold compress. Put the ice in an ice bag or wrap it with a towel and apply it to the headache. After the cooled head blood vessels contract, it can effectively alleviate migraine.
3. 4 grams of Angelica dahurica, 2 grams of borneol and 2 grams of Asarum. The grinding powder is drawn into the paper tube, the powder is burned, and the smoke is inhaled through the nose. This prescription is suitable for nerve headache.
4. Stick white radish peel on the temples on both sides for 20 minutes every night, which can cure migraine.
5. 1 piece of dried cabbage, 60g brown sugar, 3 pieces of ginger, fried in water, 3 times a day.
6. Three fresh towel gourd roots, 10g Angelica dahurica, cook with an appropriate amount of lean pork, eat meat and drink soup.
7. 30 grams of double hook, 60 grams of red dates, 60 grams of black beans, 3 slices of ginger and 2 eggs, boiled and served.
8. 6 grams of Ligusticum chuanxiong, 6 grams of green tea and an appropriate amount of brown sugar. One and a half bowls of water, fry until one bowl, remove the residue and drink.
9. When you have a headache, grind the apple into mud, apply it on the gauze and stick it on the headache, and the symptoms can be alleviated.
10. The raw white radish juice can be eradicated by dropping two drops in the nostrils (both nostrils) twice a day for 4 ~ 5 days. Avoid pepper and pepper.
Acetaminophen
Paracetamol, also known as paracetamol, is a commonly used over-the-counter antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. It produces antipyretic and analgesic effects by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. It is suitable for alleviating acute mild and moderate migraine. Its compound preparation Sanlitong is also a drug often used by migraine patients. The main components are paracetamol, isopropyl antipyrine and caffeine. Caffeine is a central stimulant, which can enhance the analgesic effect when used in combination with paracetamol. It is suitable for the treatment of acute attack of migraine.
Ibuprofen
Like paracetamol, it is an over-the-counter antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. It reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, and produces analgesic effect. Its effect is stronger than acetaminophen. It is suitable for alleviating acute migraine. The ordinary preparation and slow-release agent of the drug can be used. The slow-release preparation such as Fenbid has a long-lasting effect and is taken every 12 hours, which is more convenient. Naproxen, which has a similar effect with the drug, is also commonly used in the treatment of mild and moderate migraines.
Benzothiazide
It has strong antihistamine, serotonin and weak anti acetylcholine effects, and can inhibit the pain inducing effect of bradykinin on nerve endings. It is suitable for the prevention and treatment of migraine. It can reduce symptoms and attack times, but it has no immediate relief effect on the acute attack of migraine. The routine dosage is 0.5 ~ 1 mg (1 ~ 2 tablets) each time, 1 ~ 3 times a day. Cyproheptadine, which has similar pharmacological effects, can also be used for the prevention and treatment of frequent migraine attacks, taking 2 ~ 4 mg (1 ~ 2 tablets) orally three times a day.
Ergotamine caffeine
Each tablet of the preparation contains 1 mg ergotamine tartrate and 100 mg caffeine. Ergotamine is mainly through the direct contraction of smooth muscle and is related to the activation of serotonin receptor, so as to restore the excessive expansion and pulsation of cerebral artery to normal, so as to reduce headache; Caffeine can enhance the efficacy of ergotamine and reduce side effects. The preparation is mainly used for migraine patients with severe degree to reduce symptoms. It should be used for a short time during headache attack. If it can be used in migraine aura, the effect will be better. Since the drug has no preventive and curative effect on migraine, and continuous use will increase the possibility of adverse reactions and addiction, it is necessary to strictly grasp the usage and dosage. Generally, take 1 ~ 2 tablets orally for the first time. If it is ineffective, take 1 ~ 2 tablets every 0.5 ~ 1 hour. The total amount of each attack shall not exceed 6 tablets a day and 10 tablets a week.
Sumatriptan
It is a selective serotonin receptor agonist, which has the effect of constricting carotid artery. It is suitable for the treatment of acute migraine. The initial oral dose is 100 mg, 2-3 times a day. Generally, the symptoms can be relieved about 30 minutes after oral administration. If the first dose is ineffective, the second dose will not be given. Zolmitriptan, which has similar pharmacological effects to sumatriptan, can alleviate migraine attack by constricting blood vessels and inhibiting the release of neuropeptides. It is suitable for the treatment of acute migraine attack. The two drugs are effective for migraine patients with or without aura, but they are not used for prevention, and are only applicable to migraine patients with definite diagnosis.
Other Western Medicine
β Receptor blockers propranolol, metoprolol, indolol and calcium antagonists flunarizine, nifedipine, verapamil and nimodipine can be used for the prevention and treatment of migraine. It is reported that α Dihydroergoline, a receptor blocker, is still effective several hours after the onset of migraine. Animal experiments have proved that tiapride and sulpiride, which were originally used in the treatment of antipsychotic disorders, have good analgesic effect and can effectively treat migraine. In recent years, it has been reported that antidepressants amitriptyline, maprotiline, fluoxetine, paroxetine, trazodone, and antiepileptic drug carbamazepine have certain effects on the prevention and treatment of migraine, which can be selected according to the specific situation of patients.
