What is the cause of migraine headaches?

If I knew the answer to these question, I would be the richest person in the world. No one really knows what causes migraine, except that it is a debilitating condition.

However, one thing doctors do agree that migraine could be triggered by certain factors like food, stress, period (or hormones), changes in weather (either in temperature or pressure). These are some of the more common triggers.

Sometimes migraineurs just don't seem to have a trigger and that puzzle doctors too. It is still a mystery illness that doctors are still trying to figure out.

A magnesium deficiency can cause migraines.

I'm yet to find a medical practitioner to give me a straight answer on this one, however my own research has led to it being caused possibly by food allergies, sensitivity to light, stress, genetically predisposed.
For myself a glare or reflection can trigger one as can highly stressful situations and there are two other people in my family that get them.
