I listened to a pod cast about recent advances in treatment of migraines the other day. The older theory for how migraines are caused is that the blood vessels dialate then contract, causing pain. The newest research indicates that migraine is actually a central nervous system sensitization, very similar to fibromyalgia. There are some new medications in phase 3 testing that target the sensitization that causes migraine. Maybe these medications will create multiple more options for fibromyalgia too.
If you want to listen to the podcast you can google "Diane Rehm advances migraine" and it should come up near the top.
