what is migraine prophylaxis?
Prophylaxis is another word for prevention. When headaches are frequent enough to disrupt our lives, one of the best treatment plans is to use a preventative or prophylactic medication, along with modification of lifestyle and identification of triggers to get things under control. There are several prescription medications used for this and several alternative/complementary supplements as well. This is an important part of headache management and should be part of any discussion of treatment., although not every headache sufferer needs prophylaxis.
