what causes migraines and how come we haven’t developed a cure for them yet?

I worked in short term disability and can help explain.
In short, we don’t have a cure because migraines can be caused by any number of triggers. It could be a pinched nerve. In that case, a doctor might examine your cranial nerves. It might be blood flow so a doctor would administer either an NSAID (blood thinner) or caffeine (dilates vessels). It could be a muscle cramp in your jaw (yes that can happen). Maybe it’s sinus pressure or light/sound sensitivity.
There are just so many unique causes of migraines that there isn’t a one size fits all cure.
