Patient's question:
My father-in-law has suffered from severe migraines for over ten years. Due to poor family conditions in the past, he didn't receive any treatment. Now that the family's financial situation has improved, I want to get him treated, but I don't know where to start. So, I came here to ask: how should elderly people be treated for migraines?Doctor's answer:
The causes of migraines may be related to vascular diseases of the blood vessels, high blood pressure, or cervical spondylosis. In addition to neurofunctional disorders, if this condition recurs, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. For example, an MRI of the head can be performed to check for any issues with the blood vessels or intracranial tumors. If there are no problems with the brain, it may be a neurogenic headache. Treatment can involve medications for migraines combined with local massage, acupuncture, and other methods.
