Does somatostatin have a role to play in migraine headache?

Migraine is a condition without apparent pathology. Its cardinal symptom is the prolonged excruciating headache. Theories about this pain have posited pathologies which run the gamut from neural to vascular to neurovascular, but no observations have detected a plausible pathology. We believe that no pathology can be found for migraine headache because none exists. Migraine is not driven by pathology – it is driven by neural events produced by triggers – or simply by neural noise- noise that has crossed a critical threshold.
