Gatorade can help a migraine headache mainly by assisting with dehydration. Dehydration can be a cause of migraine, or it can (through nausea/vomiting) cause a migraine to become worse. There are many migraineurs who end up in the ER, not because of pain, but because they require essential fluids.
If you are having trouble keeping fluids down, you can try taking one tablespoon of Gatorade, every two-five minutes. You want it to be room temperature, because the shock of cold to your stomach can cause vomiting when you are already in that state.
It doesn't and can make it worse. The caffeine and sugar can make it worse.
Well, actually soda can help, however it must be the right stuff. Caffeine can make a headache worse, but it can also help to treat it. Sugar is always an enemy though. If you want to see if soda can help you, choose diet pop, such as Diet Coke, or diet Mt. Dew. For nausea, you may want to try diet Ginger Ale. Some people will slam a diet pop quickly to stop the spasming in the blood vessels. Sometimes the caffeine can make it worse though, so be careful, and think about your history with caffeine before you drink more for a migraine!!

Oddly enough for some people diet drinks make head aches much, much worse. I can't drink diet drinks without getting a viscous migraine afterwards. However, a coke will help tame one. Not diet, not pepsi, coke. I've met others who find the same thing. Diet drinks are filled with things like aspertame (or the most recent reincarnation) that triggers off headaches in a growing number of people. I'd rather have a sugar over that stuff.
It all comes down to the individual. Try a pop. If it doesn't help, don't. If it does, go ahead and have one.
Migraine is a genetic neurologic disease. The cause is in your genetic makeup. However, Migraines are frequently triggered by things in our environment that change the physiology of our body. Gatorade and other sports drinks contain many potential triggers, and yes, can be a Migraine trigger for some individuals who are sensitive to those triggers.
