There’s no permanent cure for migraines, but long-term management strategies can significantly reduce their frequency and severity. These include identifying and avoiding triggers, taking preventive medications, and making lifestyle changes.
Create a calm and quiet sleep environment. A cold compress on the head and relaxation techniques like deep breathing can help ease symptoms. Avoid screens and bright lights before bed, as they can worsen the migraine and make it harder to fall asleep.
