Preventing migraines involves lifestyle modifications and avoiding common triggers. Here are some effective migraine prevention strategies recommended by specialists at Metro Hospital, Noida:

Insufficient or inconsistent sleep patterns can contribute to migraine triggers. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night and maintain a consistent sleep routine.
