How Trigger Factors Cause Migraine
There is increasing evidence that a center deep in the core of the brain causes production of migraine symptoms. This center or "migraine generator" may be activated by trigger factors from outside the body, such as bright light, odors and weather change, or from within the body by stressful circumstances, hormonal change and lack of sleep.
Managing Migraines
Like diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis, migraine is a chronic disorder that, as of yet, cannot be cured, but can be managed to reduce its impact on your quality of life. This concept of "control not cure" is important to understand as you begin to learn more about the ways you can help yourself.
