Hypothesis Generation(2)

• Problem Migraine headaches (M)
• Stress is associated with migraines
• Stress can lead to a loss of magnesium
• calcium channel blockers prevent some migraines
• Magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker
• Spreading cortical depression (SCD) is implicated
  in some migraines
• High levels of magnesium inhibit SCD
• Migraine patients have high platelet
  aggregability
• Magnesium can suppress platelet aggregability.
