✦ AI summary

Here's what these sources report about migraine: **Treatments and prevention:** Research has looked at several preventive approaches. Candesartan, an oral medication, showed that higher blood levels were linked to fewer headache and migraine days, though it didn't find a clear link between blood levels and side effects [3]. For chronic migraine that hasn't responded to other treatments, nerve-focused procedures like greater occipital nerve block and sphenopalatine ganglion block both showed improvements in attack frequency, pain, and medication use over six months, though the study design limits firm conclusions about which works better [7]. A related surgical technique (nerve decompression) showed strong improvement in a related condition, occipital neuralgia, with reduced pain and medication use [1]. For people with both migraine and epilepsy, a small study found that anti-CGRP migraine medicines reduced headache days without worsening seizures, though the study was small and lacked a comparison group [5]. **Biology and biomarkers:** One study tested blood amylin (a molecule thought to trigger migraine) and found it did not differ between people with and without migraine, nor did it predict response to the migraine drug erenumab, suggesting it isn't a useful blood test for migraine [8
