Whats the role of caffeine?
It’s clearly a two-edged sword because a number of prescription and over-the-counter medications for treating acute migraine contain caffeine. So caffeine can play a positive role in some individuals. We try to tell people to limit their caffeine since overuse may aggravate headaches. If they typically do get caffeine at a fairly early time in the morning, as many of us do, usually via coffee or some other drink, then try to keep it on the same schedule each day. That might be helpful in reducing the likelihood of a headache.
