There are a number of potential reasons for these debilitating cases of migraines. Many people suffer because of mental health issues. Stress, anxiety and depression can increase the severity of migraines. This helps to explain increased cases in teens because adolescents can suffer acute cases of all three. Neither are helped if sufferers also deal with poor sleep patterns or insomnia. Again, this can be acute in teenagers as they develop their biological clocks. Other risk factors include allergies to foods – such as artificial sweeteners, caffeine and other additives – as well as hypersensitivity to light and sound.
There is no quick-fix solution with migraines. Suffers can either manage the pain or manage the triggers to try and limit the problem. Prescriptions can help with the pain, but not the root cause. Hypnosis has the potential to help sufferers identify the triggers – especially with stress, anxiety and depression. There are long-term benefits to on-going treatment, even with younger children. There are also potential benefits in the short-term via self-hypnosis.
