Migraine Prevention Strategies
Migraine prevention works best through a combination of trigger management and, for some, supplementation.
Identifying triggers
Common triggers include certain foods, sleep changes, stress, and hormonal fluctuations — a headache journal can help identify personal patterns.
Evidence-supported supplements
Magnesium, riboflavin (B2), and CoQ10 all have reasonable evidence for migraine prevention.
When prescription prevention makes sense
For frequent migraines, a doctor may recommend daily preventive medication rather than relying on trigger avoidance alone.
Key takeawayMigraine prevention combines personal trigger identification with evidence-supported supplements like magnesium, riboflavin, and CoQ10 — with prescription options available for frequent cases.
