Hi,

Other options available are beta blockers, antidepressants and anti seizure medications. These are mainly used as preventive therapy. You can discuss these options with your physician.
You can try magnesium supplements and biofeedback therapy which have shown good results in chronic migraine. Take care!

Hi,

How are you?
Chronic daily headaches have been divided into four varieties:
Chronic migraine
Chronic tension type headache
New daily persistent headache
Hemicrania continua
In most of the cases the cause of chronic daily headache is unknown, in some cases however underlying causes like inflammation of cerebral blood vessels, meningitis, high or low ICP, pinched nerves in the back, brain tumor and traumatic brain injury have been identified.
Treatment is mainly with antidepressants, beta blockers, anti seizure medications, and NSAIDS.
