Most of us, one time or another, have experienced migraine. There’s no telling when it’ll start or when it’ll stop. However, did we ever wonder what causes this painful sensation?

CBC News says that most people who have experienced migraines have voiced out that there are particular foods that trigger the painful headache. A new discovery finds that it is possible mouth bacteria plays a big role.

The scientists found out that those who suffer severe headaches have more microbes in the mouth. These microbes are responsible for breaking down nitrates in foods. 

Migraines Linked to Bacteria in Mouth

People who suffer from migraines have long complained that certain foods trigger the severe headaches. New research suggests the culprit might be the amount of bacteria in the mouth. Read more…

Tim Newman from medicalnewstoday.com says that the team of researchers from the Center for Microbiome Innovation at the University of California-San Diego looked into the details further. This is because they wanted to understand it more and they want to find out if it is relevant to the progress of the condition. 

Nitrates are found in foods and are transformed into nitrites by bacteria. When nitrites enter the body, these can be turned into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide promotes cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure. Some cardiac patients are given drugs that have nitrate content.

Could Migraines Be Caused by the Bacteria in Our Mouths?

Breaking research, published in the journal mSystems, makes a surprising discovery regarding migraines. According to their findings, migraine sufferers have a significantly increased population of certain bacteria in their mouths. Read more…

Jacqueline Howard from CNN.com talked to Embriette Hyde, coauthor of the study. Hyde said that it may lead to possible treatment if the connection between the bacteria and migraine can be established.

Hyde said that a treatment may be in the form of a mouthwash or introduction of probiotic species may be possible but really complex.

How Your Mouth Is Linked to Your Migraines

If a solid link between mouth bacteria and migraines can be established, it also might lead to new ideas for treatment, said Embriette Hyde, assistant project scientist at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and a co-author of the study. Read more…

Though the results are promising, there is a need to work further for future treatments. This may pave way to an even more surprising result.
