Migraine physiopathology, treatement and prevention

Pathophysiology of migraine headache. Cortex of susceptible people is hyperexcitable. Cortical activity activates the nociceptors of the trigeminal nerves in the meninges. Pain signals from the meninges or nociceptors travel along the upper branch of the trigeminal nerves. Activation of the trigeminal vascular system and secretion of neuropeptides are hypothesized to be central events in the pathogenesis of migraine. Tactile sensitivity competes nociceptive signals. Tactile sensitive signals travelling along the upper branch of the trigeminal nerve counteract pain signals from the meninges or nociceptors. See more at http://www.cefaly.com
