50 Ways to Control Migraines is a comprehensive overview of everything related to chronic headache pain. It begins with a medical overview of the headache, making it clear that migraine is a real disease, just like diabetes or high blood pressure. It discusses the biological basis of head pain, classifications, common types, and how to differentiate from headaches that can be representative of much more serious health issues. It discusses various environmental, psychological and dietary contributing factors, and the unique differences in headache pain between males and females, and between adults and children. Dr. Griffith then discusses the best strategies for getting good medical care, from both traditional and non-traditional sources. He discusses differences between non-drug strategies and prescription drugs as well as the differences between alternative medicine practitioners and physicians. He does not recommend one way over the other, but instead explores all methods of care, so the headache sufferer can make an informed decision about what type of treatment to seek.
