[starttext]Migraine pathophysiology involves the trigeminovascular system and central nervous system modulation of the pain-producing structures of the cranium. The degree to which head pain results from the activation of the nociceptors of pain-producing intracranial structures, or to the facilitation or lack of inhibition of afferent signals, is not clear at this time. An understanding of the pain mechanism is likely to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying the more generalized sensory dysfunction that is so typical of migraine. [endtext]
