10 Doctor-Approved Headache Hacks That Will Change Your Life

Double-boarded neurologist and pain specialist Dr. Sader shares his top 10 headache hacks. 1-Pain behind the eyes (retro-orbital pain) often is referred from the neck/cervical spine and mediated by the occipital nerve. 2-If someone labeled you as tension headache, don’t take it for granted. 99% of the tension headaches referred to me are either cervicogenic headaches (ie from the neck) or migraines. The distinction and correct diagnosis can open doors to the right treatments. 3-If you have migraines and haven’t tried the new CGRP meds like nurtec or ubrelvy, do yourself a favor and ask your doctor to try them. They are in general better tolerated and either as effective or potentially more effective than triptans. And the best part is that they are not mutually exclusive (you can still use your triptans). They are a revolution in the field of migraines. 4-If you have chronic migraine (defined as more than 15 headache days per month) and haven’t tried botox or occipital nerve blocks, ask your doctor. Both procedures can be life changing (we’re talking about going from daily or every other day headaches to having a couple headaches per month). 5-If you still get headaches despite all the above, make sure you have a recent brain MRI to exclude secondary causes, and question your diagnosis (for example if you failed 9 migraine treatments, maybe your actual diagnosis is IIH and not migraine, and trying more migraine treatments is not gonna solve it). It’s ok to question your doctors. We all make mistakes and miss things sometimes. So go get a second or third opinion- your quality of life matters way more than your doctor’s ego. 7-Aim to have a good rescue option (for everyone) and a good prevention option (either med or procedure, only for chronics). 9-You're allowed to have more than one type of headache; so if you notice that the meds work for some of your headaches but not all, could be the reason. 10-Triptans have to be taken at the beginning of the migraine to be effective , CGRPs do not have that limitation.
