Migraine headaches are inhibited by positioning an electromagnetic field generator adjacent a patient's head. An electromagnetic field from the electromagnetic field generator with an intensity in the range from 0.85 Tesla to 1.3 Tesla is directed at the patient's head for a time in the ranges from 0.001 second to 1 second. The treatments are repeated in a time pattern selected to inhibit the onset of migraine headaches and other manifestations in the patient.
