migraine trigger

Pain onset factor

A migraine trigger is something that sets off a migraine headache in susceptible people.

Common triggers include stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, bright lights, and weather shifts.

Triggers vary widely between individuals, and identifying personal triggers is central to migraine management: I've learned that red wine is a migraine trigger for me.
