Response to migranes

My husband suffers from migraines -- for a long time he was having about one a week, and having to spend a whole day in bed, sometimes two (fortunately no three-day ones). He still has one once in a while, but not so often or as bad usually. The first thing that helped him was a really packed multi-vitamin twice a day. I know it wasn't placebo effect because he wasn't taking them with any idea that they would help his migraines, just because his mother bought them for him. But after a few weeks we noticed that he was hardly having any migraines anymore. He took the vitamins for a while, then slacked off and the headaches started coming back until he was put on blood pressure medication -- he does have high blood pressure, and is often stressed out -- just his personality. And it's possible that caffeine is a contributing factor -- he doesn't drink nearly as much coffee as he used to. I'll have to ask him about the dehydration theory -- he isn't home much so I don't know if he gets enough to drink.
