    AbstractThe target of non-drug treatment of migraine is to reduce attack frequency and intensity. To reach this goal, the general relationship between the patient and the physician, i.e. the drug consumer and prescriber, has to be changed fundamentally. To understand migraine attacks the patient must learn to distinguish between the cause of migraine, a special readiness of the brain to react, and the triggers of a headache attack. Today, we have access to effective methods that prevent inherited migraine from coming to an effect, or to effectively arrest an attack if it has nevertheless broken out. There are three available strategies: prevention by avoiding trigger factors, prevention via reduction of attack readiness and treatment of the acute effects of the migraine attack.
