Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

The most common cause of long-term recurrent headaches is migraine. In migraine, MRI and CT scans of the brain are often normal.

The mainstay of migraine treatment is the use of preventive medications. These include flunarizine, Topiramate, divalproex, etc. Your neurologist can advise you in choosing the correct drug.

In addition, for acute episodes of headache, certain medicines are helpful. These include ritzatriptan, analgesics such as ibuprofen/diclofenac, etc.

I am sure you would improve with above treatment.

Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
