There are many types of treatments for migraine, and new options are developed every year. Preventive treatments help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks, and acute treatments provide immediate relief from a migraine attack. Your treatment plan will depend on factors such as whether you have acute or chronic (recurring) migraine, how severe your symptoms are, and how well your body handles certain medications. Talk to your healthcare provider about your migraine treatment plan. They know your health history and can help find the best options for you. The infographic below offers a quick guide to common types of treatment for migraine.

Note: This guide doesn’t include all types of migraine treatment. If you have questions about migraine or your treatment plan, talk to your healthcare provider.
