Proteus Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I read that migraine is caused by inhibition followed by hyperactivity, associated with vasodilation followed by vasoconstriction. How does this work? And how does depolarization fit in all this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake.com Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 http://www.bellaireneurology.com/headaches/migr_pain.html and also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine#Depolarization_theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteus Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Neither resolves the issues I have mentioned. The former didn't mention polarization at all, and the latter was where I found the information which raised the questions I mentioned. Thanks anyway, though.

jake.com Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 okay, after more searching, this is the best site that i could find. http://www.lef.org/protocols/health_concerns/migraine_01.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteus Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Thanks, it was an interesting read. The basic idea of the theory proposed in that article, however, I already knew. The only thing that wasn't clear to me was the involvement of depolarization, which is the only thing which wasn't mentioned in the article. I wouldn't recommend searching for articles if you don't know the answer, since I've been searching myself and, furthermore, I could search further, too, if I'd think that would be any help. If someone knows the answer, though, please do share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake.com Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 the reason these articles don't explain what you want is because they don't know. i couldn't find anything explaining why a migraine happens and next to nothing for a depolarization theory. sorry i couldn't help more.
