The Headache Relief infusion at 5P Medicine is a physician-directed IV treatment designed for migraine management and chronic tension headache relief, delivering magnesium, B-vitamins, anti-inflammatory and vascular-stabilising nutrients directly into the circulation for rapid effect. IV magnesium sulphate, the cornerstone of the formulation, is evidence-backed for acute migraine interruption and prophylaxis — hospital neurology departments use it for status migrainosus, and IV delivery achieves serum concentrations not reachable with oral supplementation. The treatment is physician-assessed and formulation-adjusted at each session based on headache pattern, medication history and relevant test findings.
About this treatment
Migraine and chronic headache disorders affect quality of life profoundly and are among the most undertreated conditions in functional medicine. Conventional management relies primarily on pharmacological prophylaxis (beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, CGRP antagonists) and acute rescue medications — an approach that treats the symptom without addressing the frequently identifiable biochemical drivers.
Functional medicine research has identified several modifiable biochemical factors strongly associated with migraine susceptibility:
- 1 Magnesium deficiency: Estimated to affect 50–60% of migraine sufferers. Magnesium regulates NMDA receptor activity and cortical spreading depression — the wave of neurological dysfunction underlying migraine aura. IV magnesium sulphate has Level A evidence for acute migraine treatment from multiple meta-analyses.

Preparation required
Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before your appointment — do not arrive fasted. Drink at least 500 ml of water in the hour before the infusion. Bring a list of all current medications (especially migraine drugs: triptans, ergotamines, preventive drugs) and supplements. If arriving during an active migraine, inform the clinic when booking so a quiet, dim treatment room can be prepared. Do not drive yourself home if your migraine is severe — arrange transport.
