What is IV infusion therapy for migraines?

IV infusion therapy for migraines is a specialized treatment that delivers medication, fluids, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line. Because the medication bypasses your digestive system, it works faster and more effectively than pills — often providing relief within minutes to an hour.

How it works:

  • Rapid absorption: Direct entry into the bloodstream allows the body to use the medication immediately.
  • Customized medication mix: A combination of anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-nausea medication, magnesium, electrolytes, or other vitamins may be included based on your symptoms.
  • Symptom targeting: Helps reduce migraine pain, nausea, vomiting, light and sound sensitivity, and overall discomfort.

Who may benefit:

  • People with severe migraine attacks that do not respond well to oral medication.
  • Individuals who experience intense nausea or vomiting during migraines.
  • Patients who need quick relief to return to work or daily activities.

What to expect during treatment:
The procedure is performed in a comfortable, monitored medical setting. A small IV line is placed into your arm, and the infusion typically lasts 30–60 minutes. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
