Blood vessel changes. Blood vessels in the head may first tighten and then expand during a migraine attack, changes that may explain the aura before and the throbbing pain during the migraine. Some migraine medication and other treatments may work by counteracting or blocking these changes in the blood vessels.
Brain and nervous system changes. Imaging studies have identified an area in the brainstem at the back of the head that is activated during a migraine attack. A spreading wave of decreased activation occurs in the brain at the onset of an attack, which may account for the blurred vision or numbness that some people experience in the migraine aura.
Serotonin system abnormalities. Serotonin is a natural chemical in the brain that has an important function in transmission of signals from one brain cell to another. Some migraine medication and other treatments affect serotonin action in the brain and can stop a migraine.
