Using a triptan, opioid, compound analgesic, or ergot derivative. A significant, curable cause of neurological impairment is chronic migraine. Making a diagnosis is essential, as is ensuring that any coexisting medical or psychiatric disorders are addressed concurrently with efforts to lessen the biological propensity for headaches. Setting patients’ expectations for what is possible is also crucial. Migraine cannot be “fixed” in any way; it is a hereditary propensity that fluctuates throughout a person’s life.
