Migraine & Headaches
Believed to be caused by blood-vessel microemboli, often a blood clot, which becomes caught in the brain and causes blockage in a cerebral blood vessel.
- Often due to chronic blood vessel inflammation
- Induces cortical spreading depression (CSD)
- Release of neurotransmitter glutamate which leads to an acute inflammation of blood vessels and nerves
Causes symptoms of a migraine
The CSD wave restricts the glymphatic space
Glymphatic flow significantly decreases in the period just before a migraine as the CSD wave passes
- Compromises the clearance of a variety of extracellular excitatory and inflammatory chemicals
Intense pain caused by inflamed nerves in the tissue that surrounds the brain
