What Causes Migraines and Headaches?

Migraines are severe, recurring headaches that affect approximately 12% of Americans. Although researchers aren't always sure exactly what causes them, genetic factors may play a role.

Symptoms of migraines include throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head, nausea and vomiting, increased sensitivity to light and sound and increased pain during physical activity. Some people also experience sensory disruptions before the onset of the headache and report confusing sensations and visual disturbances such as seeing flashing lights or zigzag lines. This collection of symptoms is called migraine with aura.

Although migraines can and may occur with no warning signs, the headaches can sometimes be triggered by:

  • Emotions like stress, anxiety, depression or shock
  • Changing hormone levels, such as fluctuations during menstruation
  • Eating or drinking certain things, including alcohol and caffeine
  • Overexertion, poor sleep, low blood sugar and other physical issues
  • Environmental factors like flickering lights, loud noises and strong odors
  • Technology-related factors such as eye strain from looking at computer screens or poor posture from sitting too long at a desk without the proper ergonomic equipment

There are typically four stages of a migraine attack:

  • Prodrome: The precursor phase that signals the onset of a migraine attack. This can last for hours or days.
  • Aura: Migraine symptoms involving vision problems (blurriness, blind spots) start to manifest during this phase, which can take place either before or during the headache phase.
  • Headache: The pain on one or both sides of the head can last between several hours and a few days. You may also experience nausea, sleeplessness and sound and light sensitivity during this stage.
  • Postdrome: Your body may feel the lingering effects of the migraine post-headache. This can include tiredness, mental fuzziness and aches throughout the body.

How Migraine IV Infusions Relieve Symptoms

Severe migraines can be debilitating, but IV infusion therapy for migraines can help to reduce the frequency of migraines and cope with the symptoms. At Rocky Mountain IV Medics, we help patients currently experiencing symptoms by providing a migraine cocktail infusion. Once we arrive at your location, we'll assess your symptoms, take your vital signs and recommend an IV drip appropriate for the situation.

Headache infusion therapy can effectively alleviate symptoms because:

What Medications to Include in Your IV Treatment

Rocky Mountain IV Medics recommends our migraine cocktail IV, which is a Myers’ Cocktail IV drip with added medications for patients fighting severe migraine symptoms. This saline solution includes the following ingredients, in the right concentration, to help with migraine symptoms:

  • Vitamin B12 and B complex: Vitamin B12 and other B vitamins have been shown to reduce the severity of migraine with aura and vitamin B12 supplements are commonly used to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.
  • Magnesium: Magnesium sulfate administered intravenously has successfully treated patients who have migraines with aura. This supplement can also reduce the frequency of migraines when it's taken regularly.
  • Toradol (ketorolac): Toradol is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain medication used to treat severe pain in migraine patients. It's more powerful than an over-the-counter NSAID like ibuprofen.
  • Zofran (ondansetron): Zofran is an anti-nausea drug that can reduce nausea in migraine patients with such symptoms.
  • Reglan (metoclopramide): Hospital emergency departments use Reglan to effectively treat migraines.

These, along with other vitamins and nutrients that are included in our Myers’ cocktail, will have you feeling better in no time!

IV Treatment Works Faster Than Oral Medication

Oral medication can take a long time to offer you the relief you crave and taking lots of these medications can lead to gastrointestinal side effects and nausea. If you use an IV drip for a migraine, your medication bypasses your gastrointestinal system by directly entering your bloodstream. This means your medication can get to work quickly, offering you rapid relief from that throbbing migraine.

FAQs

1Does IV therapy help with migraines?
Yes, IV therapy is a fast, effective way to ease painful or uncomfortable migraine symptoms. A migraine cocktail infusion offers powerful relief because the hydrating IV fluids, and the vitamins and minerals they contain, go straight to the bloodstream. They get to work quickly and with better absorption than oral migraine medications, which dissipate in potency as they travel through the digestive system. Many patients report feeling the effects of a migraine IV almost immediately, often within 30 minutes after an infusion. And the whole process only takes 45 to 60 minutes, so you don’t have to wait long to feel better with IV therapy.
2What is an IV cocktail for migraines?
An IV infusion for migraines contains a sterile solution, vitamins, minerals, and medications specifically selected to combat migraine symptoms. At Rocky Mountain IV Medics, our team members are experts at IV therapy and can help you customize your drip bag with the ingredients you need to support your well-being during a migraine attack. Learn more about our team and how we can help you rebound from your migraine symptoms.
3What is the migraine cocktail they give you at the hospital?
You’ll typically receive a saline solution if you go to an emergency room for a migraine. Rocky Mountain IV Medics also offers a Migraine Cocktail with the same high-quality, medical-grade ingredients you’d find in an IV saline solution administered in a clinical setting, but we also offer the ultimate convenience of mobile IV service that comes to you, so you don’t have to suffer in a waiting room for hours before getting your IV treatment. You also have the option of additional add-ons such as vitamins and supplements that have the potential to alleviate your migraine needs. Your comfort and safety are our main concerns, so trust us for your migraine cocktail IV therapy needs.
