What is the cause of migraine?

It is triggered by an action between the brain and the blood vessels in the head.  A migraine attack often commences with visual disturbances, such as an aura and there are usually problems with vision during an attack. Vomiting and stomach pains are common.

Much research indicates a link between the brain and the digestive system and further research is necessary to establish if a change in the communication link between the brain and the digestive system could be a possible cause of some migraines.
