Caffeine withdrawal can cause headaches in non-migraineurs as well, but that is distinct from a caffeine-withdrawal triggered migraine.
THANK YOU DR. STEVEN NOVELLA!
Sorry, a few weeks ago I had someone in a focus study I was involved in tell me in an exceedingly superior manner that my caffeine-withdrawal-induced migraines weren't migraines at all. I bit my tongue and replied politely, because to flame him would have resulted in me being thrown off the study's forum but DEAR GOD YOU DO NOT TELL A MIGRAINEUR THAT HER MIGRAINE IS NOT A MIGRAINE.
The line I quoted above is from Novella's latest post in his skeptic-related blog, NeuroLogica, which concerns a study showing that sham acupuncture works just about as well as real acupuncture when it comes to migraines.
