Chronic Migraine & Headache Treatment in Sugar Land & Pearland, TXWhat Is Chronic Migraine?

Chronic migraine is defined as experiencing migrainous headaches on at least 15 days per month, with at least 8 of those days having migraine features, for more than three months.

Unlike occasional migraines, chronic migraine is a long-term neurological condition involving abnormal brain activity and heightened pain sensitivity.

Patients with chronic migraine often:

  • Present first to primary care providers
  • Are referred to secondary or specialist care
  • Require long-term preventive treatment
  • Experience significant impairment in work and daily function

Medication Overuse & Chronic Headaches

Many patients with chronic migraine also suffer from medication overuse headache. This occurs when acute headache medications are used too frequently.

Medication overuse is typically defined as using:

  • Compound analgesics
  • Opioids
  • Triptans
  • Ergot derivatives

on 10 or more days per month.

Overuse can worsen headache frequency and reduce treatment effectiveness. Our specialists in Sugar Land and Pearland migraine treatment carefully evaluate medication patterns to develop safer, more effective strategies.
