Medication
Preventive migraine medications are considered effective if they reduce the
frequency or severity of the migraine attacks by at least 50%.
Alternative therapies
Petasites hybridus (butterbur) root extract has proven effective for migraine
prevention.[86]
While acupuncture may be effective, "true" acupuncture is not more efficient
than sham acupuncture, a practice where needles are placed randomly.
