Being a woman, a mom or a professional can pile on stress. Since day-to-day stress can trigger migraines, it's important to find ways to minimize this particular trigger.

Remember the goal of treatment is to reduce the number of attacks and the severity of symptoms. You'll then want to determine the appropriate medications that will immediately avert an attack. There is currently no cure for migraines but researchers are continuing to explore the mechanisms that cause migraines, new therapies and prevention strategies.
