Migraines are a neurological condition that causes recurring headaches and associated symptoms that can significantly affect daily life. Migraine attacks may involve intense head pain along with symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances.
For some people, migraines occur occasionally. For others, migraines become frequent or chronic, leading to repeated attacks that interfere with work, sleep, and normal activities.
At Jacobs Pain Centre in Toronto, specialized migraine treatments are available for patients experiencing frequent, persistent, or difficult-to-treat migraines. Our clinic offers targeted therapies designed to help manage migraine symptoms and reduce the frequency of attacks.
Migraines are more than typical headaches. They are a complex neurological disorder involving changes in nerve signaling and blood vessels in the brain.
Migraine attacks can last from several hours to several days and may occur periodically or frequently.
Some patients develop chronic migraine, defined as 15 or more headache days per month, with migraine features occurring on at least eight of those days.
Jacobs Pain Centre offers several evidence-based migraine treatments designed for patients with chronic or difficult-to-treat migraines.
Vyepti® (eptinezumab) is a CGRP inhibitor used for migraine prevention in adults. CGRP is a protein involved in migraine attacks, and medications that target this pathway can help reduce migraine frequency.
Vyepti® is administered as an intravenous infusion approximately every three months.
Migraine infusion therapy involves medications delivered through an IV to help treat severe or persistent migraine attacks.
These treatments may be used when migraines do not respond to oral medications and are administered in a supervised clinical setting.
Migraine nerve blocks involve injecting a local anesthetic near nerves involved in migraine pain, most commonly the occipital nerves located at the back of the head.
These injections may help reduce migraine pain and decrease the frequency of headaches in some patients.
Botox injections are an approved treatment for chronic migraine. Chronic migraine is defined as 15 or more headache days per month.
Botox is injected into specific muscles around the head and neck and is typically administered every 12 weeks.
For people living with frequent or chronic migraines, specialized treatments can offer additional options when standard medications haven’t provided enough relief.
At Jacobs Pain Centre in Toronto, migraine therapies are designed to help people better manage their condition and reduce the impact migraines have on daily life.
