ontraditional / alternative therapy may be helpful if you have chronic headache pain:
Acupuncture. Among other benefits, acupuncture may be helpful for headache pain. This treatment uses very thin, disposable needles that generally cause little or no pain or discomfort.

Biofeedback. Biofeedback appears to be especially effective in relieving migraine pain. This relaxation technique uses special equipment to teach you how to monitor and control certain physical responses, such as muscle tension.

Massage. Although massage is a wonderful way to reduce stress and relieve tension, its value in treating headache hasn't been fully determined. For people who have tight, tender muscles in the back of the head, neck and shoulders, massage may help relieve headache pain.

Herbs, vitamins and minerals. There is some evidence that the herbs feverfew and butterbur may prevent migraine or reduce their severity. A high dose of riboflavin (vitamin B-2) also may prevent migraine by correcting tiny deficiencies in the brain cells.

Oral magnesium sulfate supplements may reduce the frequency of headache in some people, although studies don't all agree on this issue.

In addition, infusions of magnesium sulfate seem to help some people during an acute headache, and they seem to relieve migraine pain in people with magnesium deficiencies.

Cervical manipulation. There are no scientifically valid studies that prove that chiropractic or other spine-manipulation treatments are effective in the treatment of migraine.
