I Suffer From Abdominal Migraines

Abdominal Migraine Treatment

Abdominal Migraines are a form of migraine that consists of abdominal pain and are more commonly seen in children than in adults, with children ages 5 to 15. There are also associated symptoms of nausea and vomiting. It is described as a ‘Recurrent Gastrointestinal Disturbance’ along with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.

Cases of adults experiencing Abdominal Migraines are rare, but possible. The pain is described as located in the middle of the abdomen around the belly button as a ‘dull’ or ‘sore’ ache that may be moderate to severe in intensity.

Understanding Your Symptoms

What are the symptoms of Abdominal Migraine?

Although abdominal migraine is considered to be a “migraine disorder”, it is rarely associated with headache pain. However, when headaches are present, the condition is usually classified as a different type of migraine — such as a “classic” or “common” migraine. Interestingly, children who experience abdominal migraines will often develop migraine headaches in adulthood.

Some other symptoms that may occur with an Abdominal Migraine attack are loss of appetite (anorexia), nausea, vomiting and paleness. Abdominal Migraine episodes last between 2-72 hours. In between the episodes, there will be complete relief of symptoms. Frequency can be up to 4 attacks per week.

Understanding Your Headache

What is the cause of Abdominal Migraines?

Currently the exact cause of Abdominal Migraines is not known, however some theories suggest that certain chemicals produced by the body (histamine and serotonin) have a role to play. Some common foods that have been known to trigger abdominal migraines include chocolate, foods with high monosodium glutamate (MSG), caffeine, and processed meats. Other triggers can include stress, poor sleep, skipping meals and exposure to bright light.

Abdominal Migraine can be hard to diagnose as children may have difficulty distinguishing between normal stomachaches, a stomach flu or abdominal migraine. Other causes for stomach pain should be ruled out such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, etc.

Who do Abdominal Migraines Affect?

Abdominal Migraines are most commonly diagnosed in children between the ages of 5 and 15, though they can occasionally affect adults. The condition is characterised by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe midline abdominal pain, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and a pale appearance. Parents should track symptoms of children with Abdominal Migraine, including the duration of episodes and any common triggers like irregular sleep habits or food sensitivities. Understanding these patterns can help in developing effective management strategies to prevent future attacks.

How is an Abdominal Migraine Diagnosed?

Diagnosing Abdominal Migraine involves a thorough evaluation of symptoms, medical history, and ruling out other possible causes of abdominal pain. At Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic™, our assessment includes:

Detailed Medical History: Understanding symptom patterns, triggers, and family history of migraines or headache disorders.
Physical Examination: Evaluating signs of abdominal pain, nausea, and other associated symptoms.
Exclusion of Other Conditions: Since abdominal migraines share symptoms with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and cyclic vomiting syndrome, we ensure an accurate diagnosis by ruling out other gastrointestinal disorders.
Tracking Symptoms: Patients may be asked to track their symptoms, including potential triggers such as poor sleep, food sensitivities, or stress.

Early diagnosis and effective management can help prevent recurrent attacks and improve quality of life.

Organise Your Initial Assessment

About The Assessment Stage

What To Expect During The Assessment

1. Comprehensive and in-depth examination

We instigate an in-depth assessment to identify all possible related factors that could be causing your headaches or migraines. The upper cervical spine, in particular, is thoroughly examined to identify possible issues.

2. Ligamental stability and vertebral arterial tests

We undertake careful examination of neck ligaments and vertebral arteries, ensuring only the highest standards of patient safety and comfort.

3. Temporarily reproduce your headache and migraine symptoms

As a part of the treatment process, we apply gentle and selective stress to the upper cervical spine in order to reproduce headache symptoms, which subside after 20-30 seconds. This helps to identify and treat the cause of your headaches.

Abdominal Migraine vs Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome

Though they’re often mistaken for the same condition, there are differences between Abdominal Migraine and Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.

Cyclic vomiting syndrome refers to waves of intense nausea, vomiting, and other stomach problems for no obvious reason. Cyclic vomiting syndrome may also last up to 10 days, compared to 3 days for Abdominal Migraine. While you may experience nausea and vomiting as a symptom of Abdominal Migraine, Abdominal Migraine is often experienced purely as abdominal pain.

In both cases, sufferers can experience loss of appetite and pale skin during an attack.

Abdominal Migraine vs Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Explained

Sensitised Brainstem

In those individuals that may be suffering from Abdominal Migraine and have no underlying pathology or disorder that can be recognised, another known cause may be due to a sensitised brainstem.

A sensitised brainstem will perceive non-threatening stimuli (such as eating certain foods) and create pain to be felt where the sensory information was originally detected. This hyper-excitability of the pain sensation is due to the heightened arousal and sensitive brainstem. A sensitive brainstem will relay the sensory information to the brain but will heighten the sensation so that the brain perceives the information as painful.

I’ve tried everything. What else can be done to help Abdominal Migraine?

Treating your Abdominal Migraine

Many people with Abdominal Migraine turn to over-the-counter painkillers, triptans, or even tricyclic antidepressants for relief. While these treatment options may ease symptoms temporarily, they do not address the underlying cause, and episodes often persist.

At Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic™, we focus on non-medication-based treatment by assessing the role of a sensitised brainstem. A highly reactive brainstem can amplify pain signals, contributing to recurrent abdominal migraine attacks. Our approach involves a thorough assessment to identify contributing factors and a tailored treatment plan aimed at long-term symptom relief.

If you or your child continue to suffer from abdominal migraines despite conventional treatments, a targeted, medication-free approach could provide the relief you’ve been seeking.

Corinne Blake

I’ve been seeing Kevin Go at Spring Hill and he has changed my life from the very first treatment.

I have had Vestibular Migraine since February 2024, and back pain for over 40 years. VM had taken the joy out of my life, with visual aura, migraines, dizziness, and fatigue. I had no energy to do even the simplest of daily tasks. Kevin has been treating both the VM and the cause of the back pain.

When I read the reviews I thought they sounded too good to be true, but I was feeling at such a low point I considered I had nothing to lose. I now have energy and feel like “me” again. I had previously asked my neurologist if this would ever happen, and his reply didn’t suggest it ever would.

I have energy, the migraines have dramatically reduced, the dizziness has reduced, and I’m continuing treatment with Kevin for further results. I have not had back pain and the treatments are treating the cause of the back pain.
Thank you Kevin!

Response from the owner:Hi, Corinne. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

Joe Tedesco

Tim’s attention to detail is reassuring. Finding the cause of the problem and
ma sure he doesn’t miss any diagnosis.
Highly recommended

Response from the owner:Hi, Joe. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!

All Star Pet Resort

Kevin has been treating my 13 year old he’s had constant pain for three years now, neurologist, mris ct scans, heavy opioids nothing helped. The pain was so bad and constant he was suicidal. Intensive 3x3 week appointments and now 2x2 weekly appointments have given Ashton back his life and hope for the future. I can’t thank Kevin enough for his help and patience

Response from the owner:Hi, All. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Lee Schiller

I'm being treated by Kevin.
I'm very happy with the genuine care provided and the relief I've experienced. I haven't needed my previous migraine medication since being treated at this clinic. I also have not experienced a migraine since treatment commenced. As a long-term migraine sufferer whom of late was suffering migraines in consecutive days and migraine medication was not effective, I was getting desperate to eliminate these painful episodes. Needless to say I'm very thankful and would highly recommend this clinic.

Many thanks

Lee

Response from the owner:Hi, Lee. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

Julie Allsop

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and provide glowing feedback for Bryan Wong at the Brisbane Migraine and Headache Clinic. Over the past month, both my daughter and I have experienced a remarkable transformation in our quality of life, thanks to his exceptional care and treatment for our chronic migraines.

Bryan is not only a highly skilled professional but also a compassionate and attentive practitioner. His kind, considerate, and polite demeanour instantly put us at ease, creating a safe and supportive environment for treatment. His superb bedside manner and gentle approach were a perfect complement to his effective and targeted therapies.

Initially, I wasn’t sure if the therapy he recommended would succeed in alleviating our migraine symptoms and pain. I am delighted to say I was wrong. The treatment has been exceptional—while it may not have entirely eliminated all headaches, any we do experience are now very mild and brief, rather than ongoing and debilitating and I have not had a 'full-blown migraine' (with auras, light-sensitivity, nausea) since undertaking the treatment.

I cannot recommend both him and the Brisbane Migraine and Headache Clinic highly enough - the receptionist staff are all delightful, compassionate and helpful, too.

If you are struggling with migraines and seeking a caring and professional practitioner who truly makes a difference, look no further. Thank you, Bryan, for your expertise, kindness, and the positive impact you’ve had on our lives.

Response from the owner:Hi, Julie. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

Melody Herft

I have been struggling with migraines with aura, vestibular migraines and chronic headaches. I had tried triptans, injections, infusions, and acupuncture. This is the only treatment that has helped me - my photophobia is completely gone, and I haven’t had a migraine since. I am forever grateful to this clinic, I have been able to do much more with my life now that my pain and light sensitivity has decreased.

Response from the owner:Hi, Melody. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

Andrea Duffy

Sean Smith

I have been getting treatment for a couple of weeks now from this clinic with Mattias, and although the sessions are expensive and I was initially unsure of how success they would be, I have to say that it has been worth it there has been such a significant improvement in my headaches so far. Their techniques seem to be working and my tension headaches have almost completely gone and when I do get them they are noticeably less intense or they don’t last as long. Hoping that with continued sessions this will be the end of my headaches.

Response from the owner:We are happy to hear that you have seen such a significant improvement in your headaches after just a couple of weeks of treatment with Mattias. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us. We look forward to continuing to help you on your journey to being headache-free.

Cindy Licastro

I would recommend to anyone who suffers from migraines to give Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic a go.
I have gone from having in average a migraine a week to less than one every 2-3 months. My migraines are from a neck/ shoulder injury.
My first initial appointment with practitioner Mattias McAndrew made me feel he understood my concerns/issues. Which is extremely important and worked out an unusual therapy for me! It given me a renewed interest in life. I am achieving new heights and experiences from the results of my visits.
Would highly recommend.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your positive review, Cindy! We are thrilled to hear that you have been seeing positive results from our migraines treatment, and that your quality of life has improved as a result.

I used to suffer from migraines at least twice a month and thanks to Piumi H. they have receded to only one per quarter. If you suffer migraines you should try it, they will evaluate if the treatment will work for you and after 3 sessions you can start to see results.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Alberto! We're glad to hear that Piumi, and our treatment has helped reduce your migraines. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to support you in managing your migraines.

I have been seeing Dr. Woo for about 6 months now and he has been helping me manage my migraines fantastically.

I've had migraines weekly for over 10 years with no real relief from any prescription medication or help from medical practitioners, until i saw Dr Mattias. He has been an incredible help in finding the reason behind my migraines and is now in the process of fixing them.

Sinead Prince

I was suffering from a terrible cluster headache period and upon my very first treatment with Piumi, I haven't had a single headache reaching the same 10/10 pain again. It's been two weeks and multiple sessions, but I have my life back already and am treating my headaches with either caffeine or aspirin. I go several days without them now and I cannot thank Piumi enough.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us, Sinead! We're thrilled to hear that Piumi was able to provide you with effective treatment for your cluster headaches. It's wonderful to know that you've regained control over your life. If you ever need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1800 432 322.

Leisa Burdette

When I first met Piumi at the Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic I was experiencing a cocktail of god awful symptoms like constant head pain + pressure, that included feeling dizzy, disconnected and a roaring/static sensations in the head, to the point where it made me tired and often times nauseous. I couldn't focus which made it very difficult for me to work or do day-to-day tasks. By the time I found the clinic I'd had MRI, CT's, seen Neurologists and other specialist.
So you can imagine just how RELIEVED I was to find something that worked........ and worked really rather quickly. I'm so grateful to see that all my nasty symptoms have now been kicked to the curb!
I'm no longer weighed down, I'm so much happier and back to working full time.
And can I say......Piumi listened !! so many of the medical profession only half listened or just presumed things. Piumi just took it all in, heard all the details of MY experience and treated MY situation with individual care.
I can't tell you how good it feels to be back to normal.

So don't think about it... GO... try it...... you'll be as happy as I am that you did. No more pain, no more despair. Live again

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Leisa! We're so glad to hear that your symptoms have improved so much. It sounds like you've been on quite a journey to find the solution. We're really happy to have helped!

Rebecca Agius

From the get-go I've found the staff at Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic to be really understanding and professional. I flew from Rockhampton in search of answers after nine years of intensive tension headaches, Migraine, and nausea that have been ruling my life. After both a Neurologist and Neurosurgeon reached the end of their skill-sets and gave up on me in the past year I googled and found Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic and decided to give them a go. Piumi was very professional and compassionate for what I've been going through and she believed me when I told her that I think it's all coming from my neck. She was able to very gently recreate the pain to determine that she had found the source of the headaches. She performed a treatment on me in that first appointment and for the first time in nearly a decade, I was headache free for weeks on end, with the occasional day here and there that I needed pain relief in the weeks after that. Since there are no practitioners of the technique needed to treat my neck in my hometown, Piumi has been willing to work closely with a Physio closer to my home in between times when I can make it to Brisbane for treatment with her, for which I am truly grateful! It's no exaggeration to say that meeting Piumi and the team at Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic has changed my life infinitely for the better. Thank you so much for everything! Beck Agius

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Rebecca! We're really happy to hear that we've been able to help. It's always a bit harder when travel and distance are a factor, but really glad to hear that we've been able to find something that has worked for you.

Niecky

Highly recommend! I have been seeing Piumi to work on the headaches I've been dealing with for a while and she is an amazing and caring practitioner! It improved within the first few sessions which has helped a lot! It was good to hear the details about what's been causing my headaches and getting the proper treatment and advice.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your review, Niecky! It's great to hear that your headaches are feeling better. We're happy to be able to help!

Shalyn Rye

Could not recommend this clinic or Dr. Piumi enough. For the last few years (about 4) I have suffered from painful, chronic tension headaches & migraines affecting my vision, causing nausea and if you suffer from them you know how much they take away from your life. I have cried tears of happiness with the appreciation I have for Dr. Piumi & how she has helped me gain my life back after only 4-5 appointments! I now only have one headache maybe once a week or two that quickly finish. Which in comparison to previously, mine would last for hours, days, sometimes even a week. I could even go to sleep & wake up with the same one no matter what I tried. I exhausted all my options before coming here & I wish I went sooner! You will not regret coming here. They will change your life.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Shalyn! That's great to hear that you're only getting headaches once per week now, what a changed from almost every day!

Mike Rowland

Migraine suffer since I can remember, haven't had results like I have here. Mattias McAndrew out of Spring Hill has explained things much clearer than others in the past, and the treatments make total sense and have worked fantastically so far. Massive recommend.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Mike! We're really glad to hear that everything has been going well. Better understanding can make a huge difference, and we're really happy to hear that the treatment is helping.

Rodney Wallis

Absolutely astounded with the results of Piumi Herath treatment. I was having migraines on an average of one every month for about . 20 years. Piumis manipulation treatment really produced the positive results I was looking for. No pharmacy drug has ever matched Piumi's treatment. My last migraine was in mid January. It is now mid June. On a lighter note, I have nicknamed Piumi, ASPRO.
Thanks ASPRO for a job well done and relieved me of the debilitating effects of crippling migraines.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Rodney! I had to ask Piumi about that nickname. Great to hear that you haven't had a migraine for months now!

Candice Delofski

Working with Piumi these last few months has been amazing.
I have suffered with Migraines and incapacitating headaches for the last 10+ years. I had started to believe that I would never work a normal week.
Through weekly, then fortnightly appointments she has assisted me with learning stretches, desensitisation and minor adjustments.
It’s this combo that has taken my migraines from daily, to weekly.
It’s been a change that has allowed me to be consistent with my work, and to become more involved in my family.
If you are interested in a non- drug relief option, I highly suggest giving this clinic a try!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your review, Candice! That's amazing to hear that you're considering going to a normal work week. Once a week compared to every day, what a relief, lets keep that momentum going!

Lisa Bird

I have Occipital Neuralgia ( chronic pain and headaches daily). It is a very difficult condition to treat and after multiple treatments, procedures and seeing many physiotherapists, I have finally found a clinic that has given me some relief. Some relief is huge to me. I felt an instant feeling of being in good hands following my first appointment. I saw Mattais, he was thorough, professional, knowledgeable and best of all empathetic. He was also the first professional to explain to me why i have facial pain and how to manage my tense painful jaw.
I travel about 4 hrs in total to see him so he must be good. The receptionists are lovely and you are made to feel very welcome at the clinic, it's a great team environment and i am very appreciative of all their help.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Lisa! That's quite a journey you've been on. We're so glad you've been able to finally find some relief. Thank you for trusting us enough to make the journey!

Heather Dale

From my first viewing of the BHMC website to my rehabilitation stage, I have been so impressed! With my background as a Physiotherapist, I knew what I was looking for but my treatment has surpassed expectations. My goal to become migraine free now seems possible. I have been a compliant patient during my treatment program in order to maximize the outcome. From the friendly, competent administration staff using efficient systems to the amazing knowledge & skills of Mattias, this Clinic provides an essential service to migraine sufferers. I highly recommend it!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Heather! It's great to hear that you're happy with the service, especially coming from your physiotherapy background. Thank you for the kind words!

Christine Cansfield-Smith

I was very impressed with the professionalism of the BHMC. Prior to my visit (and we travelled from Victoria for the treatment) the staff were helpful and friendly. We recommend the Clinic just for the high level of customer service...even before the treatment! Piumi Herath was wonderful and very efficient. She was a delight to see each visit. I was only able to have 6 treatments over two weeks but I feel so much better already. I do believe that my migraines and headaches are on the way to being cured permanently. Thank you so much to all at BHMC!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Christine! We're so glad to hear that you're feeling better already. That's a long way to come for treatment so we're really grateful that you've put so much faith in us. Thank you for the kind words

Chloe White

My life has turned around since I started to see Ariel. She was quick to located the root of my discomfort and told me exactly how she could fix it. Flash forward 8 months and I only have to go in for maintenance appointments and have no migraines anymore. I can’t recommend her and the team at Brisbane Migraine Clinics enough

Response from the owner:Thank you for your review, Chloe! We're really happy to hear that you no longer get any migraines! That's so exciting

Jenny

Weekly debilitating migraines were starting to really affect my quality of life. After the very first treatment with Ariel I felt relief and have continued to improve. Would highly recommend her as a caring, understanding and very experienced practitioner and cannot thank her enough for discovering the cause of my migraines. So grateful for the support of Ariel.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Jenny! We're really glad to hear that you're continuing to improve.

Joh Embrey

Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic has been an absolute life saver for me. When I came in I was suffering from frequent and debilitating headaches and migraines. The staff are very friendly here and Mattias the head practitioner is very good at what he does. I am now about 3 weeks headache free when previously they were daily. Highly recommend to anyone suffering from headaches. I’d also recommend the pillow as this has helped dramatically. I found it very uncomfortable at first, but now I can’t sleep without and I don’t wake up with a headache or stiff neck anymore.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Joh! We're really happy to hear that you've been headache free for 3 weeks now! We're also glad you love you pillow, we love them too!

Vicky Bautista

I've been suffering from chronic headaches for a long time. Then we found this clinic and met Douglas. Usually my headaches last a week, but when I started my treatments with Douglas my headaches have improved. He found what was causing my headaches and worked towards fixing it the root. I really recommend Douglas and their clinic!

Response from the owner:Thanks you for the review, Vicky! We're really happy to hear that you're headaches have improved, and that you can finally understand the cause!

susan grech

Really happy to recommend the Clinic and Piumi to anyone who is experiencing migraines. My condition has really improved in the 6 weeks I have been attending the Clinic, and Piumi is a very knowledgeable and caring practitioner.

Response from the owner:Hi Susan, thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad to see your results and that your experience with Piumi has been great.

Tiffany Morris

After suffering monthly (sometimes more often) migraines for 15+ years that would keep me from school/work, I saw a billboard and decided to try Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic.
After seeing Ariel for my initial round of treatment and continue to attend once every 4/5 months, I have had 1 migraine in that time (right at the start of the treatment).
Ariel is amazing and recommend her and the Brisbane Migraine Clinic very highly!

Response from the owner:Hi Tiffany, thank you so much for your kind words of Ariel and our clinic. It is great to see your results!

Hyatt Narsh

Ariel has done wonders for my migraines and I can’t be more happy with the results! So professional and welcoming. Recommend their services and Ariel to everyone!

Response from the owner:Hi Hyatt, thank you for your very kind words. We are so happy that you are seeing such great results and that Ariel was able to assist you.

Cheryl-lee Morgan

My son was suffering badly with severe migraines causing nausea, vomiting and excessive pain multiple times a week. From the very first session he began to notice some relief. After a month of treatment he has been and remains now 4 months down the track migraine free. Can not recommend Brisbane Headache and Migraine Clinic and Douglas Woo enough to anyone seeking help for a long term medication free solution! Absolutely fantastic!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Cheryl-lee! That's amazing to hear that your son is now migraine free.
