Getting pricked could help stop the pounding, recent research showed. "Acupuncture stimulates the part of your brain that produces endorphin's, which are natural painkillers," explains Alexander Mauskop, M.D., director of the New York Headache Center in New York City. Ten or more half-hour sessions may be needed to prevent symptoms, such as nausea and sensitivity to light and noise, though. And the price is a bit of a headache: Few insurance plans cover acupuncture, and each visit could run you $100 or more. Not ready to be needled? Get plenty of regular aerobic exercise to prevent severe migraines. Dr. Mauskop's RX: 30 minutes of cardio three or more times a week. --As seen in Fitness Magazine, May 2012 Issue, written by Samantha Shelton
