Who is at risk for migraine?

The cause of migraine remains unknown. It seems that both genetics and environmental contribute to the cause. Also, migraine is more common in women than in men.

Many individuals with migraine can identify triggers that cause or aggravate the headache. Avoiding triggers may be helpful to decrease the frequency or severity of migraine. Some triggers include:

• Anxiety
• Stress
• Food: Some migraines can be triggered by certain foods, including beer and red wine, aged cheeses, chocolate, aspartame, caffeine, monosodium glutamate, salty foods, and processed foods.
• Changes in the weather
• Lack of sleep or too much sleep
• Sensory stimuli, including bright lights, sun glare, loud sounds, unusual smells such as perfume, paint thinner and secondhand smoke, can also trigger migraines.
• Hormonal changes in women
