Massage of the neck and shoulder area at the first signs of onset can be helpful (also helps to reduce stress.) Oddly enough, a heating pad on the low setting placed on the top of your head can also reduce the pain. Keep in mind that, if you are using over-the-counter medications, avoid Tylenol as it may relieve the pain for awhile, but can cause rebound migraines that are more painful than before.
