“…Gould (36) and Hurst (44) have declared emphatically in favor of eye-strain but Balyeat and Brittain (7), Bigland (15) and Curtis-Brown (24) suggest that eye-strain may be the immediate provoking condition acting upon an already sensitized nervous system. Stevens (69) and Hartung (40) reject allergy and propose dysfunction of the endocrine glands. The actual attack is considered by many writers (8,9,16,26,29,30,42,43,46,64,75) to be a vasomotor spasm of the meningeal and cerebral blood vessels.…”

A great many theories as to the etiology of migraine have been proposed, but the frequency and enthusiasm with which food sensitivity has been mentioned in recent years makes it necessary to consider this suggestion rather seriously. The proponents of this theory maintain that eye-strain, accepted by some writers, is merely superimposed upon an already hypersensitive condition. The immediate condition is thought to be a vasomotor spasm of the meningeal and cerebral blood vessels. The possibility is suggested that allergy, eye-strain, glandular dysfunction and other conditions may act as precipitating factors in the presence of an "inherent instability of the nervous system."

“…Dietary measures, in the experience of Kennedy (304), never cure but do reduce the frequency of attacks. Although allergy is denied by Hartsock (298), Hartung (299), and Stevens (326), there are many writers who very definitely favor some form of sensitization as an explanation of the cause (273,274,275,276,279,282,283,284,285,287,288,289,290,292,305,306,308,309,311,314,316,318,319,320,321,322,325,328,329,330).…”
