Hi , chronic migraine headache should be treated with diet , lifestyle changes and medicines to prevent attacks.
Fasting and high tyramine foods like cheese chocolate shoul be avoided.
Stress and anxiety should be treated.
Stress relieving yoga and pranayam should be started .
Medicines to prevent the attacks are propanolol, topiramate, divalproex and flunarizine .
All these can reduce the intensity and frequency of attacks.
Thanks
