Just an anecdote, but very close person of mine was diagnosed with migraine when she was 12 yo old so.

Last year, being 40+ years old, suffering from weekly/daily pain events, she found out that diagnose was wrong (one doctor just asked that have you ever thought that this probably isn't migraine) and correct diagnose was Horton / cluster headache.

Eating migraine meds (lots of different ones) for several years were helping, but probably only due placebo effect.

Now, the medicine for headache attacks is simple: breathing pure oxygen for 15 minutes.

After last attack (1.5 year ago, stopped almost immediately breathing oxygen) there has not been any headaches.

Usually, it would not been nice to get diagnose for cluster headache, but on this case it was kind of life saver.

Still, just an anecdote.
