What neurotransmitter creates migraines?
Because we still do not know the exact pathogenesis of Migraine, and several neurotransmitters play a part in the Migraine attack, I'm not sure how to answer your question. Serotonin is most frequently blamed for Migraine attacks, however the complete answer is much more complicated than that.
What is migraine disease?
Migraine disease is a genetic neurological disorder that results in *attacks* generated in the nervous system which can involve one or more of the possible Migraine phases. Migraine may or may not include pain.

What is best painkiller for migraine. I can't take Ibuprofen?
I suffered from migraines for years and tried all kinds of prescription drugs. A couple of years ago, a friend told me to try Ibuprofen, which I reluctantly did. I did not for a minute think it would work, but every time I feel a migraine coming on, I just take two Ibuprofen and it subsides. Years of suffering and a simple tablet like that sorted it out.
Can brain electricity imbalace cause migraine?
Migraine is a genetic neurologic condition. Its cause is in the genes. The Migraine brain is more sensitive to changes in the body. When an attack is triggered, spreading cortical depression (an electric wave) in the brain and the Migraine has begun.
Is it possible to not know you have a migraine?
Yes, it is possible to be in the middle of a Migraine attack without knowing it. There are 4 stages to a Migraine attack. Only one stage involves pain. A Migraine can be made up of one or more of those stages. If you aren't familiar with all the stages of a Migraine attack, you may not notice that something is happening.
Can anyone define migraine with scientific reason?
Migraine is not well understood, although we are learning more and more about the genetics, pathophysiology and epidemiology of Migraine every day. Migraine is a diagnosis of exclusion - we cannot test FOR it, but try to rule out other disorders/diseases before diagnosing Migraine. There exist now some tests to help determine if someone carries the genetic capacity for certain types of Migraine, but this too is incomplete. Currently the Mayo hospital is doing research to help us find more genes associated with Migraine that will help us devise tests for Migraine instead of simply ruling everything else out. For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of headache disorder and disease, please seek the help of a board certified headache specialist.
Can Migraine cause diarrhea?
Yes. It is listed with other gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and nausea on many websites. Google "migraine" + "diarrhea" to read more about it.
Do you need to worry that the Aura you get with a classical migraine has lasted for over 3 hours?
Migraine auras do not usually last long than a couple of hours. In some people, however, auras can drag on persistently. Rarely, they can last for weeks. It is important to get checked out by a doctor to make sure nothing more serious is going on. If you doctor determines that there is no cause for concern, you may still wish to discuss the possibility of getting on a preventative regimen for migraine. Even if you are not experiencing the pain of the migraine, and only other neurological symptoms, the fact is that your brain is still experiencing the nerve activity associated with migraine. This is not a type of nerve activity you want your brain to become accustomed to, as it will become easier and easier to trigger migraines.
How CT brain is used in migraine diagnosis?
A CT scan is most helpful - not in Migraine diagnosis - but in ruling out other more serious structural disorders or diseases.
