Is there effective treatment for a 9 year old with migrains?

My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with migrains after almost a year of tests for other things. She was given ZOFRAN for nausea. But I was told there was not another real treatment for someone her age. The doctor said to try and treat it with caffine and sleep. My daughter has headaches about 4 to 5 times a week and debilitating migraines about 1 every 10 days that last up to 3 days. Is there really no treatment for her?
