The pathogenesis of migraine pain has not yet been adequately explained and remains the subject of vigorous debate

Harold Wolff and his associates postulated that migraine pain emanates from dilated extracranial arteries, and they were able to provide compelling experimental evidence in support of their theories.

This article describes the location and a logical examination sequence of the vessels most frequently involved in migraine pain.]]>

Migraine is a common disorder with a worldwide lifetime prevalence of 16%, and a last-year prevalence of 10%

There is a great deal of evidence showing that painful dilation of the terminal branches of the external carotid arteries is the source of the pain in many but not all migraine sufferers.

The pathogenesis of migraine pain has not yet been adequately explained and remains the subject of vigorous debate. Early studies by Harold Wolff and his associates on the extracranial terminal branches of the external carotid artery provided compelling evidence of their involvement in the evolution of migraine pain. They postulated that migraine pain emanates from dilated extracranial arteries.
