Migraines

For college students living with migraines, the pursuit of academic success and an enriching college experience can be challenging. Migraine headaches are debilitating, causing severe pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and interfering with daily activities.

Jessica Pazos, MSPA, PA-C, a provider at Florida Atlantic’s Student Health Clinic, says “By visiting the student health clinic, students can receive an accurate diagnosis from one of our providers experienced in managing migraines. They will assess your symptoms, triggers, and medical history to develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.”

Florida Atlantic’s providers can offer advice on identifying and avoiding common triggers, such as certain foods, stress, lack of sleep, or hormonal changes. They can also suggest techniques for managing stress, improving sleep hygiene, and incorporating regular exercise into your routine, all of which can play a role in minimizing migraine episodes. Lastly, our providers can prescribe medications that help reduce the frequency of migraines and treat active ones.
