Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I like your scientific approach. Prevention of migraine attacks is the best therapeutic option. There are various alternatives for reducing the severity and frequency of migraine headaches. These include tablets such as beta blockers, divalproex, topiramate and flunarizine. Botox injections are another option.
Bruises could be related to medication overuse.
Best wishes,
