If indeed it turns out to be migraine, there is a number of potential therapies, which are categorized into:

1- Maintenance treatment: the aim of maintenance therapy is to prevent migraine attacks. We usually start with simple non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs) and check for response. If no improvement is achieved, we move to other classes of medications, such as calcium-channel blockers, and maybe triptans.

2- Abortive treatment: such treatment is used when the migraine attack happens and serves to sever the attack. In this kind of therapy we resort to potent pain killers usually given as a muscular injection.
