How to Spot a Migraine Treatment Scam

I often see ads for migraine-related treatments on social media, television, and even in my email inbox. I also gotten direct messages on social media about migraine treatments to try. Though some treatments can be legit, it can be hard to tell sometimes. If there's a testimonial from a celebrity is that automatically a good thing, or a bad thing? Is a high price an immediate red flag that it's a scam? I answer these questions and more in the video below.

To recap:

In case you want to save the information, here is a summary of all I said in the video:

Something is probably a scam if it includes:

• Guarantees of quick relief or a cure. (There is no cure for migraine).
• Testimonials from celebrities or other unqualified people.
• Exorbitant prices.
• Pressure to buy now.
• Unproven or experimental treatments.

How to determine if something is a scam:

• Do your research. Read reviews of products and treatments before you buy them.
• Only buy from reputable sources. Avoid buying products from websites or retailers that you're not familiar with.
• Be skeptical of free trials or offers that seem too good to be true.
• If you have any doubts, ask your doctor. They can help you find safe and effective treatments for your migraines.
