I am not a doctor, but if I start to get one of those I chug a coke or two. Reading the paper, it seems this was one of their findings (one coke is 39g of caffeine). It says you need caffeine and glucose: "Corticosteroids that stimulate gluconeogenesis, are amongst the most effective drugs for abortion of prolonged migraine attacks and status migrainosus148. Caffeine (>100 mg), on the other hand, has a beneficial (though small) analgesic effect, at least when used in conjunction with common analgesics149. Besides its suppression of transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) activity150, caffeine also stimulates cortisol secretion151,152 and, consequently, gluconeogenesis153. In addition, caffeine increases levels of free fatty acids and decreases insulin responses152, effects that are similar to the metabolic changes that occur during a migraine attack81."
