Abstract
A historical perspective regarding research and treatment of the migraine syndrome and the studies in animals and humans relating to control of the autonomic nervous system is given. Pilot experience with 75 subjects is presented, and a detailed clinical account of one successful subject with pertinent research records in given. Reference is made to the implications of this clinical research to psychosomatic medicine.
