“…Several studies have shown an association between migraine and trigeminal neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia is a localized peripheral neuropathy due to the irritation of the fifth cranial nerve (the trigeminal nerve) resulting in painful facial sensations, which is usually one-sided (Kataria et al, 2020). The association between migraine and trigeminal neuralgia remained significant in patients with migraine with aura, the mechanism of which is relatively unknown (Lin et al, 2016).…”

Mitochondria are an autonomous organelle that plays a crucial role in the metabolic aspects of a cell. Cortical spreading depression (CSD) and fluctuations in the cerebral blood flow have for long been mechanisms underlying migraine. It is a neurovascular disorder with a unilateral manifestation of disturbing, throbbing and pulsating head pain. Migraine affects 2.6% and 21.7% of the general population and is the major cause of partial disability in the age group 15–49. Higher mutation rates, imbalance in concentration of physiologically relevant molecules and oxidative stress biomarkers have been the main themes of discussion in determining the role of mitochondrial disability in migraine. The correlation of migraine with other disorders like hemiplegic migraine; mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke‐like episodes [MELAS]; tension‐type headache (TTH); cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), ischaemic stroke; and hypertension has helped in the assessment of the physiological and morphogenetic basis of migraine. Here, we have reviewed the different nuances of mitochondrial dysfunction and migraine. The different mtDNA polymorphisms that can affect the generation and transmission of nerve impulse has been highlighted and supported with research findings. In addition to this, the genetic basis of migraine pathogenesis as a consequence of mutations in nuclear DNA that can, in turn, affect the synthesis of defective mitochondrial proteins is discussed along with a brief overview of epigenetic profile. This review gives an overview of the pathophysiology of migraine and explores mitochondrial dysfunction as a potential underlying mechanism. Also, therapeutic supplements for managing migraine have been discussed at different junctures in this paper.
