Ibuprofen is one of my first-line treatments for mild to moderate migraines. As a widely available NSAID, it helps reduce pain and inflammation, especially when taken early in an attack. A standard dose of 200–400 mg can provide significant relief, sometimes even eliminating the migraine when combined with rest and hydration.
