Migraine infusion therapy is used to treat moderate to severe migraine attacks that have not responded to oral medication.
Some migraines can last for days. Nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound can make it difficult to function. When symptoms do not improve with home treatment, intravenous therapy may be considered.
Migraine infusion therapy is recommended when:
It is often used for acute or prolonged migraine episodes.
Medication is delivered through an IV in the arm. This allows treatment to enter the bloodstream directly, rather than being absorbed through the stomach.
Depending on your symptoms, treatment may help reduce:
The session lasts a set period of time. Patients remain seated or reclining during treatment.
An IV line is placed in the arm, and medication is administered over the course of the visit. Some patients notice improvement during the infusion. Others experience relief over the following hours.
Patients return home the same day.
For people with frequent migraines, infusion therapy may be one part of a broader treatment plan.
Preventive options at our clinic may include:
Treatment is based on headache frequency, severity, and response to previous therapies.
If migraine attacks are frequent or harder to control, contact us to discuss available treatment options.
