Can tramadol be effective in managing chronic migraine headaches and how does it compare to other therapies for this condition?
Tramadol may be used for chronic migraine relief but is less favored due to its addictive potential and side effects compared to safer, specific migraine medications like triptans.
Tramadol is occasionally prescribed for chronic migraine, though it is not a first-line treatment due to concerns about dependency and less efficacy than targeted migraine drugs.
While tramadol can provide pain relief in chronic migraine cases, it is generally considered less effective and riskier than migraine-specific treatments such as CGRP inhibitors or triptans.
