The exact cause of migraine is not understood in totality. It is caused by disturbance in the functioning of the nervous system which may be triggered by environmental factors or changes in the body itself. Migraine tends to run in families which shows that genetics have a role to play in the development of migraine.
In many women, migraine tends to recur at some point of their menstrual cycles regularly, either before, during or after the menses. This is known as menstrual migraine and it is related to the hormonal changes that occur in the body during the menstrual cycle. Menstrual migraines tend to disappear during pregnancy.
There are certain common factors which trigger the onset of migraine in many patients. These are as follows:
Weather changes
Alcohol
Inadequate sleep
Physical or mental stress
Irregular meals or skipping a meal
Strong odors
Certain food articles
Environmental changes
Excess of noise or light
Once identified, the patient must modify his lifestyle so as to avoid these triggers wherever possible.
