Frequently Asked Questions
Which doctor should I see for migraine?
A neurologist specialises in migraine and other headaches. A general physician can treat most common headaches first.

Can migraine be prevented?
Yes. Identifying triggers, regular sleep and meals, and preventive medicines can reduce how often migraines happen.
