    AbstractMigraine is a ubiquitous neurological disorder that affects approximately 1 billion people worldwide. Migraine is the second leading cause of illness in people of all ages worldwide. Uncertainty in migraine diagnosis leads to unnecessary testing and increases the treatment costs. To date, the pathogenesis of migraine is not fully understood, but it is generally believed that migraine involves the trigeminal nerve and its axonal projections to intracranial blood vessels. Pain signals from the trigeminal neurovascular system are transmitted to the brain, resulting in migraines. As an important component of complementary and alternative medicine, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown significant efficacy in the treatment of migraine, and has attracted increasing attention worldwide. This review is based on the pathophysiology of migraines in modern medicine. To explore the comprehensive treatment of migraine using TCM, acupuncture, and various other TCM treatments.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
