In large amounts, caffeine can be the culprit behind a migraine. But, according to the Mayo Clinic, caffeine in small amounts can actually relieve migraine pain in the early stages. It can also enhance the pain-reducing effects of acetaminophen and aspirin. Just be careful not to overdo it on caffeine, because too much can lead to withdrawal headaches later on.
