Abstract
Although ubiquitous, migraine remains incompletely understood and thus often ineffectively managed, Fortunately, new advances in our underst anding of migraine's origins have led to identification and applicatio n of therapeutic intervention that is unparalleled in its specificity and clinical efficacy. We present a unified model of migraine genesis and explain how application of the model to clinical practice may impr ove therapeutic management of this common disorder.
