Types of Headache Treatments
At the Stanford Health Care Headache Clinic, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor treatment to each patient’s specific condition and life circumstances.
A variety of prescription medications, over-the-counter (OTC) products, procedures, and lifestyle changes can be effective for treating headaches. We will work with you closely to find the combination of strategies that is right for you and your body.
We may recommend prescription medications to help control and prevent headaches, including:
- Antidepressants
- Anti-seizure medications
- Beta-blockers
- Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors
- Triptans
We may suggest OTC products, including:
- Pain relievers, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Vitamins and supplements
For many patients, nerve blocks and trigger point injections can be helpful for stopping and preventing headaches. We also regularly use Botox for migraine prevention.
Lifestyle management is critical for treating headache disorders. We will work with you to optimize factors such as:
- Sleep
- Diet and hydration
- Exercise
- Stress management
