data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here are the three key differences between using devices and medications to treat migraines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mechanism\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Devices use electrical or magnetic pulses <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/migraines-headaches\/nerve-stimulation-devices-migraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to stimulate specific nerves<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, such as the ones in your forehead and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">on<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the back of your scalp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Medications like triptans target serotonin receptors <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK554507\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to constrict blood vessels<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and reduce pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Side Effects<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Electrical devices can help prevent, reduce <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> stop migraine attacks, making devices ideal for individuals who prefer non-drug treatment or those who can\u2019t tolerate migraine medicines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many migraine medications <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/migraine-headache\/diagnosis-treatment\/drc-20360207\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">may cause side effects<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> like vomiting, nausea, dry mouth, and sleepiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Accessibility<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can buy many migraine appliances straight from brand websites \u2014 some may require a prescription from a physician.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Traditional medications for mild or moderate migraines are available over the counter, while medications for severe migraines require a prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15150 aligncenter\"
