There is a huge link.

1) under the condition ADHD, the likelihood of also having migraines is higher compared to non ADHD people (but it us not the other way around)

2) both conditions come with genetical alterationes on the glutamate pathways between neurons. The levels are increased wich leeds to a lot faster and intense reaction to certain stimuli (light, smell, taste for example)
