Migraine sufferers are unusually susceptible to migraine motion sickness, but the mechanism of this susceptibility is not well understood.
Possibilities include vestibular dysfunction secondary to vasomotor disturbances during migraine attacks, hyperexcitability of brain stem circuits that produce symptoms of motion sickness and migraine, and heightened susceptibility to visual illusions of movement.

Migraine Motion Sickness and causes
As i found out migraine motion sickness occurs when messages from two motion detectors to the brain conflict.
research shows that one of these detectors is the inner ear and another is the eyes.
If the inner ear and the eyes detect motion even slightly differently, motion sickness can occur. Motion sickness is usually caused by riding in a car, boat, or airplane. Motion sickness can also be caused by motion in the visual surroundings while standing still.
This is the technique that the researchers used in the study described in this site.

Migraine Motion Sickness and some scientific facts!
When I was doing my research on migraine motion sickness I came acroos the scientific fact behind the cause .
Scientists believe that low levels of a brain chemical called serotonin may make people susceptible to developing migraine headaches.
Many people with migraine also have a problem with motion sickness, but it is not clear why this might be.
We know that many drugs to treat motion sickness increase brain levels of serotonin, an important brain chemical. It is possible that low brain levels of serotonin may also be responsible for motion sickness. In this issue of Neurology,Drummond reports on a study that evaluated whether low brain levels of serotonin trigger motion sickness in people with and without migraine
