Unanswered questions in headache: how does a migraine attack stop?
Much research in migraine focuses on understanding its initiation. But as migraine is typically self-limited, its offset may be as important as its onset. We pose the question "how does migraine stop?" to three investigators with different backgrounds. The consensus is that the termination of a migraine attack, rather than being the passive loss of a trigger, must itself be an active biologic process.
