As far as I know, there is nothing out there that "prevents"=cures migraines.
I am on a Migraine Management Program & it has lessen the frequency of my *attacks* from every other day to 4-5 times a year.
I get about 1 migraine a week instead of everyday.
Have not had a headache in 3 years.
Topamax - 100mgs daily
Zomig - 5mgs as needed (spray & oral)
Baby Asprin - 81mg daily
Vit B - 400mgs daily
I have been on the above program for 2 1/2 years.
--------------------------
Keep a migraine diary
Take a daily 2-3 hour nap
Eat Breyers Vanilla Ice Cream (onset of migraine)
Use an old fashion ice bag (onset of migraine)
I know my food triggers - of course I cheat sometimes! :D
PS: I also have an excellent Neurologist that keeps tabs on my condition every 4 months.
