Researchers believe vitamin B and folate supplements will reduce the frequency and severity of migraines in 20% of sufferers.  Scientists from Griffith University are close to a new treatment for severe headaches that consists of vitamins B and folate supplements. 

This remedy could help the 20% of sufferers whose condition is genetic. Griffith postdoctoral researcher Bridget Maher says that the remedy "basically reduces the frequency and severity of migraines."

When most of us get a migraine, we don’t need to find someone nearby to continue doing our job right at that moment. That’s different you’re a pilot and currently in the act of flying a plane. Luckily enough for a Lufthansa flight headed from Newark to Frankfurt, Germany, there was a spare pilot on board when a migraine hit the cockpit.

According to the Daily Mail after the plane’s co-pilot was felled by a migraine, the cabin crew asked if passengers if there was perhaps a pilot among them. Thankfully, one passenger, a pilot for North American Airlines, was ready to fill in and help fly the Boeing 747.

New research shows that the "brain freeze" headache you experience when eating ice cream or other cold foods may be caused by a sudden change in brain blood flow.

Results suggest that these headaches are triggered by a sudden increase in blood flow in the brain's anterior cerebral artery. Brain freeze disappears again when this artery constricts. The rapid dilation and then quick constriction of the anterior cerebral artery may be a type of self-defense for the brain.  The skull is a closed structure and the sudden rush of blood could therefore boost pressure and cause pain. The subsequent constriction of the artery may also be a way to reduce pressure in the brain before it reaches dangerous levels.
