How Are Abdominal Migraines Treated?
A specific treatment for abdominal migraines has not yet been established. Because little is known about treating abdominal migraines, doctors may treat them like other migraines.
For some patients, certain serotonin blockers and tricyclic antidepressants may be useful for treating abdominal migraines. Doctors have had some success treating older children with nasal sumatriptan, which is a drug in the triptan class. However, the triptans used for migraine headaches have not been approved for use in children.
Triptans may also help adults with abdominal migraines. In addition, valproic acid (Depakote, for example), which is used to treat migraine headaches, has been used with some success in treating abdominal migraines.
