| Abstract |
The literature on migraine triggers is reviewed, including the most common triggers, interactions between triggers, the research evidence related to the capacity of self-reported triggers to precipitate headaches, and the neurobiologic pathways by which triggers induce migraine attacks. An argument is developed against the standard advice to avoid migraine triggers as the best way of preventing attacks, based on conceptual and practical criticisms, and consideration of cognate literatures on chronic pain, stress, and anxiety. A small number of studies suggest that exposure to headache triggers has the same effect as exposure to anxiety-eliciting stimuli, with short exposure associated with increased pain response and prolonged exposure associated with decreased pain response. On the basis of this literature, "learning to cope with triggers" is advocated, where controlled exposure and approach/confront strategies are used to manage migraine triggers, except in cases where such an approach would probably be inappropriate. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 March 2023.
All research outputs
#2,800,906
of 23,485,204 outputs
Outputs from Current Pain and Headache Reports
#146
of 807 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,813
of 97,220 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Pain and Headache Reports
#3
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,485,204 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 807 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 97,220 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
