The previous article introduced the acute phase of migraine in minors and preventive drugs**, and also introduced the recording method of migraine diary, and today we continue to introduce non-drug migraine **, in fact, for minors, non-drug** is safer.
It's important to make lifestyle changes**.
In the acute phase, the trigger should be eliminated, relaxation and rest.
Triggers should be managed during intervals, lifestyle changes should be made, and migraines should be avoided**.
Irregular or lack of sleep, hunger or fullness, excessive stress, excessive caffeine intake, lack of exercise, weather changes and diet, etc.
Common triggers in the diet are: wine, chocolate, tyramine-containing foods (ripe cheese, pickled products, smoked products, fermented foods, etc.), caffeinated diets (coffee, tea, etc.), monosodium glutamate (monosodium glutamate), saccharin (aspartylphenylalanine methyl ester), nitrite and nitrate foods (pickled products, smoked products, kimchi, coloring agents, preservatives, etc.), citrus fruits, etc.
Physical and chemical triggers include: noise, strong light stimulation, large temperature difference, and special odors (especially pungent odors such as gasoline, alcohol, and paint).
Of course, most minor patients have difficulty in effectively adjusting their lifestyle, and need the guidance and help of doctors and guardians to let them grasp what unhealthy lifestyles will affect the occurrence of migraine, and help minors to record headache diaries in detail, guide patients to change their previous lifestyles, and observe the impact of lifestyle adjustment on the frequency of migraine attacks.
A detailed diary is needed for several months to determine which factors may trigger headaches, and patients and their guardians need to be fully aware of their individualized triggers, try to eliminate and avoid them, and engage in regular aerobic endurance exercise.
