This study examines the influence of nutrition on migraine headaches. Research questions are whether the foods as a whole affect migraine headaches that have some foods greater effect on headaches than others and whether triggering factors from literature correspond to reality. According to findings may affect nutrition as a trigger factor as well as individual foods that have individual meanings for different respondents.

Respondents were searching snowball sampling method. The research was conducted with forms to fill in the data retrospectively after respondent received a migraine attack and then use the forms for interview to help.
