Chronic Migraines
At Advanced Wellness Infusion Centers, we offer personalized, evidence-based infusion treatments to support patients living with Chronic Migraines. Our experienced team is here to provide care that is safe, compassionate and focused on improving quality of life every step of the way.
What are Chronic Migraines?
Chronic migraines are a type of headache disorder where a person experiences migraines 15 or more days each month, often with intense, throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound. These frequent and debilitating episodes can greatly affect daily life, making it difficult to work, socialize, or rest. For those who haven’t found relief with traditional medications, infusion therapy offers a promising treatment option. By delivering targeted medication directly into the bloodstream, infusion therapy can help reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of migraines—providing lasting relief and a better quality of life.
How are Chronic Migraines Managed Through Infusion Therapy?
Vyepti® is a preventive migraine treatment given through IV infusion every 3 months. It works by blocking a protein called CGRP, which is linked to migraine attacks. For many people with chronic migraines, Vyepti helps reduce the number and severity of migraine days, offering long-lasting relief with just four treatments a year.
Our Therapies for Chronic Migraines
What to Expect at my Migraine Infusion
Migraine infusions at Advanced Wellness use a very thin catheter to connect an IV line to one of the patient's veins to infuse the medication. All of our locations have a Nurse Practitioner on site and the patient is monitored continuously throughout treatment for any adverse reactions. Patients can expect the infusion to last anywhere from an hour to two hours. After the IV treatment is complete, the patient is disconnected from the IV by a nurse. During initial treatments, the patient is asked to stay on site for a short time post-treatment for observation.
In each infusion suite, Advanced Wellness provides snacks and beverages as well as streaming devices for comfort throughout the infusion appointment.
