which travel to the brain's outer covering (meninges)
leading to in ammation and migraine pain. One of the
arguments used to prove this idea is the fact that
the levels of serotonin decreases during migraine
headache whereas an intravenous infusion of serotonin
can stop it.
According to another theory migraine may be also caused
by vascular abnormalities mainly contractions and
dilations of brain blood vessels also triggered by serotonin
and other neurotransmitters abnormalities, for instance
increased levels of glutamate which causes vasodilation.
Although it is still controversial whether migraine is
primarily a vascular problem (dilation of blood vessels) or
a neurological dysfunction, yet it is possible that both of
them play a signi cant role in the development of
migraine headaches. In addition, both factors (vascular
and neurological) are likely to be triggered by various
types of in ammation in the body and possibly other
mentioned below lifestyle and environmental causes.
POSSIBLE CAUSES & TRIGGERS
Drop in neurotransmitters,
especially serotonin (vasoconstrictor), but it is
believed low levels of other neurotransmitters, such
as acetylcholine (vasoconstrictor) or dopamine, and
increase in glutamate (causes vasodilation) also
contribute to migraine
