Brief description In this project we hope to discover the cause of migraine headache. Many triggers lead to migraine, but we do not know how. We believe the triggers produce a defect in pain control by the brainstem, which normally keeps sensation from the head below the pain threshold. In migraine, trigger factors acting high in the brain open a pain control gate lower in the brain, producing a migraine headache. If we can prove this, we can develop therapies that will prevent migraine before it starts.
