How it works

Migraines occur when multiple threshold factors accumulate. Identifying and reducing personal triggers lowers the probability of reaching the attack threshold.

Beware the nocebo effect β€” not everything before a migraine causes it. Some apparent triggers (food cravings) are actually early migraine symptoms. Apps like Migraine Buddy help.

Why moderate evidence

Lifestyle regularity (consistent sleep, hydration, meal timing) has the strongest evidence. Trigger avoidance studies show moderate benefit overall.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
