what are the general causes of migraine and What is the best way to identify the root cause of migraine?

There seem to be a significant percentage of population suffering from migraine but still I havent seen a scientific way of identifying the root cause of migraine in people. I understand that migraine can be caused by different/multiple reasons but there seems to be no way in identifying the cause of migraine for the individual except for hit and trial method

There is no cure for migraines, but migraines can be usually treated with:

  • painkillers – including over the counter medicationssuch as paracetamol and ibuprofen,
  • anti-emetics – medications often used to reduce nausea and vomiting.

Many people find that sleeping or lying in a darkened room can also help.

Sometimes a specific trigger can cause migraines, such as stress or a certain type of food (artificial sweeteners, preservatives), so avoiding it can reduce your symptoms.
