This is mostly based on old studies of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and studies of vascular responses. These studies are partly forgotten today and may, therefore, be worthwhile reviewing.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The review is based on the authors life-long involvement in these issues and his knowledge of the relevant literature plus scrutiny of reference lists of these papers.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The strongest evidence for CSD in MA came from studies using intraarterial injection of 133-Xenon and recording from 254 areas of the relevant hemisphere. Measurements could be taken before and during development of an attack because the procedure triggered MA. The findings were identical to many features of CSD. They were confirmed using 133-Xenon Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (SPECT).It was shown that the generally accepted vasospastic theory of migraine was incorrect. Headache started while rCBF was decreased and did not change during later hyperperfusion. rCBF remained normal in MO but later studies have shown increase in areas also activated by other pain. Flow Was focally increased in the brain stem also after treatment of the pain. Dilatation of large cerebral arteries during MO attack was first shown with ultrasound and later confirmed by MR angiography which also showed a lack of dilatation of extracerebral arteries.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Much has in later years been done using modern PET and MR techniques. These studies have confirmed the old studies and have added many new aspects which are not reviewed here. The final proof of CSD during MA and its absence during MO still awaits the definitive study.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Studies from the 1980ies and 1990ies caused a fundamental shift in our understanding of the vascular and cortical mechanisms of migraine.
