Question
Hello doctor, I've had a migraine for 9 years and it hasn't gone away, I've had a CT scan, magnetic resonance, but no symptoms. The doctor concluded that I have a migraine headache. I also took medicine for half a year without any relief. So can you tell me how to cure my migraine? In my head, there is always a tug of the left temporal nerve, so my head is always sore and very tired. Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you doctor!

Hello! Because of the CT scan of the brain and the MRI of the brain, the headache caused by a physical brain injury such as prescription drug blocks could be ruled out. Follow-up examination when the drug is exhausted or when there are any abnormalities, cerebrovascular malformations ... With your general description, the doctor thinks of migraine (also known as migraine). This painful condition is characterized by recurrence, therefore, treatment includes relief and prevention of recurrence. Avoid factors that can trigger flare-ups.
Regarding drug treatment: Patients should take medication prescribed by a neurologist. Treatment includes reliever medication and medication to prevent recurrence of the headache. Adhere to treatment for many months under the guidance of a doctor along with a healthy lifestyle.
