Headache and migraine.
That the 'primary' phenomenon in migraine with aura is neuronal ('spreading depression') seems increasingly probable, but the relationship of migraine with and without aura and of both to tension headache remains uncertain. Depression and migraine are related, but other psychological correlates are controversial. Two new therapeutic agents, with action on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) receptors are of promise.
