I know of a consistently effective treatment that does not involve narcotics at all. Occipital nerve block. This has worked 100% of the time, though I have only used it on a few people, and maybe a dozen times total. Lidocaine squirted up the nose works, but not as well or consistently.
My wife gets migraines occasionally
On the back of your head, near where it is attached to your neck, there are two bony protruberances(occipital protruberance) If about 0.5 cc of lidocaine(local anesthetic) is injected here, it is very effective in relieving migraine pain. My wife learned this when working as a nurse for a DO, has worked every time so far.On the back of your head, near where it is attached to your neck, there are two bony protruberances(occipital protruberance) If about 0.5 cc of lidocaine(local anesthetic) is injected here, it is very effective in relieving migraine pain.
