Over the years there has been a considerable amount of controversy over whether the vascular component of migraine pain arises from the intracranial or the extracranial vessels, or both. Some have even questioned whether vasodilatation actually plays a significant role in migraine pain, and have described it as an unimportant epiphenomenon. The controversy is an artificial one though, which has been generated as a consequence of misrepresentation of the facts in the headache literature. In this review, some of the more blatant distortions in the literature are exposed.
多年来，偏头痛疼痛的血管成分是来自颅内血管还是颅外血管，或者两者都有，一直存在相当大的争议。甚至有人质疑血管扩张是否在偏头痛疼痛中起重要作用，并将其描述为不重要的伴随现象。尽管如此，这种争议是人为的，是由于对头痛文献中事实的错误陈述而产生的。在这篇综述中，揭示了文献中的一些更为明显的扭曲。
