Are triptans painkillers?

No. They act on the specific mechanism of a migraine attack, which is why they are effective in migraine and not in ordinary headache.

What is the difference between acute and preventive migraine treatment?

Acute molecules are taken during an attack. Preventive ones are taken daily to reduce how often attacks happen.

Is betahistine used for migraine?

It is used for vertigo, particularly in Ménière's disease, not for migraine attacks.
