Acute nonpharmacological treatment for migraine

Nonpharmacological treatment that can help migraine includes:

  • cold packs over the forehead or back of the skull (targeting the supraorbital and greater occipital nerves)
  • hot packs over the neck and shoulders (targeting the innervation of the scalp)
  • neck stretches and self-mobilisation
  • rest in a quiet dark room.
