He/she can do this by asking the patient through a Perceived Stress Scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most painful form of headache, and 1 at the lowest rate of pain. Sumatriptan is a drug that is actually used to treat or manage migraines and other cluster headaches. It can be drank orally, nasally sprayed, and injected subcutaneously.
