Almost everyone, doctors and sufferers alike, agrees that stress is strongly connected to migraine. Most people with migraine notice that their attacks become more frequent or more severe when they are under pressure. And a few find that, having coped successfully with a stressful situation, they have an attack when they are at last able to relax. Sometimes the link between stress and migraine becomes a vicious circle when the disappointments and frustrations of having to live with the condition contribute to the stress.


Is there a cure?

There is no once and for all cure for migraine. There are however, a number of drug treatments that can help stop an attack or prevent attacks occurring in the first place. Your doctor will be able to advise which of the treatments is likely to best for you. Some people find these treatments very effective but, unfortunately, they don’t work for everyone. And some people, understandably enough, don’t like the idea of taking tablets.
