Erenumab reduces migraine medication use
We explored how treatment with erenumab affects the use of acute migraine medications. This study analyzed data from two large clinical trials involving nearly 1,600 participants suffering from episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM). Patients received either erenumab or a placebo monthly for treatment, while they recorded their medication usage in an electronic diary.
Our findings highlighted that erenumab not only reduces the frequency of acute headaches but also leads to a significant decrease in the use of acute headache medications, particularly migraine-specific medications like triptans and ergots. This suggests that treating migraines with erenumab may help minimize the risk of over-reliance on acute medication, which can sometimes lead to adverse health situations, such as medication overuse headache.
Overall, the treatment with erenumab proves promising for anyone looking to manage their migraine efficiently, allowing patients to experience relief while reducing their dependency on other acute medications.

Reduces migraine frequency
Most Useful Review
GREAT It normalises sleep with regular intake of 2 capsules. It improves my migraines significantly. When the special effects begin, I take my usual pills, add extra magnesium, and the migraine fades within a couple of hours, compared to the previous half-day disruption. The frequency has also decreased alongside medicinal support. Regular magnesium intake eases PMS and periods, so I remain calmer, and I can even go a day without painkillers. Chronic pain in my nasopharynx hardly worsens. I also take omega-3, serrapeptase, and resveratrol, but I believe magnesium plays a role. Taking magnesium, lecithin, and protein has shown a genuine effect with collagen. I was pleasantly surprised. No allergies, rashes, or digestive issues. Quality is excellent with natural ingredients.

Alliaceous aromas induce migraines
We observed an interesting case of a 32-year-old woman suffering from migraines triggered exclusively by a combination of garlic and onion aromas. She experienced severe symptoms, including visual disturbances and extreme headaches, following exposure to these scents.
Through various tests, we confirmed her sensitivity to these aromas and explored potential treatments. Notably, using peppermint and nose plugs effectively prevented her headaches and associated symptoms.
This case highlights the unique connection between migraine triggers and sensory responses, suggesting counter-stimulation might be a valuable preventive strategy.

Exploring TRESK's impact on migraine
We examined how TRESK potassium channels could play a role in managing migraine pain. Using both in-vivo and ex-vivo rat models, we tested different activation methods and found that cloxyquin, a TRESK activator, significantly reduced pain and the associated chemical markers linked to migraines.
Although combining it with sumatriptan showed promising results in lab settings, this didn't translate to the animal models. Our findings suggest that targeting TRESK channels might be a viable method for alleviating migraine symptoms.

This cross-sectional study involved 266 women aged 18 to 45 and focused on how their Carbohydrate Quality Index (CQI) impacts migraine severity, duration, and disability.
We found that greater adherence to a higher CQI—factoring in fiber intake—was linked to significantly milder headache pain and shorter migraine durations.
Specifically, participants with high CQI adherence experienced a dramatic reduction in both moderate and severe migraines. However, there was no significant correlation between CQI and migraine-related disability scores.
These promising findings suggest that diet may play a role in managing migraines, though further research is needed to solidify these results.

Magnesium reduces migraine symptoms
We explored how magnesium supplementation can help alleviate migraines, a condition that affects countless individuals and can be incredibly disabling. Research has shown a strong link between magnesium deficiency and various factors that contribute to migraines, such as neurological changes and inflammation.
Studies, including randomized controlled trials, indicate that magnesium can reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks, both in the short term and as a preventative measure. This effectiveness is thought to stem from magnesium's ability to influence nerve function and reduce stress responses in the body.
We've examined the accumulating evidence from case studies and clinical trials, and it clearly points to magnesium being a valuable option for those suffering from migraines. By addressing magnesium deficiency, we may offer a new avenue for relief and improved management of this challenging condition.

Dietary antioxidants reduce migraine severity
We explored the link between dietary antioxidant quality and migraines among 265 women. By assessing their dietary intake, we calculated a dietary antioxidant quality score (DAQS) and gauged migraine intensity and frequency through specific questionnaires.
Our findings revealed that higher antioxidant quality scores correlated with reduced migraine severity and fewer headache days. Notably, participants with better vitamin C intake reported less severe headaches. Although vitamin E showed a negative connection with headache frequency, the overall evidence suggests that monitoring antioxidant intake may benefit those suffering from migraines.

We explored the potential role of zinc in migraine management through a systematic review of existing studies. Our aim was to gather evidence from scientific databases to see if zinc could be an effective treatment choice, especially considering its known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We reviewed information from three major databases and identified 35 studies, eventually narrowing our focus to five studies that met our criteria—two clinical trials and three observational studies.
The results of our review suggest that zinc may have a positive impact on managing migraines, though the available evidence is still somewhat limited. The clinical trials we examined showed a low risk of bias, indicating that their results are reliable. However, we also acknowledge that more robust and larger clinical trials are needed to strengthen the evidence around zinc’s effectiveness in treating migraines.
Overall, while the findings are promising, we should approach them with caution until further studies can confirm the benefits of zinc in this context. As of now, the use of zinc for migraine treatment is an area that warrants further exploration.

We investigated how glutamate affects pain signals involved in migraines, focusing on its interaction with NMDA receptors in the trigeminal system. By using various techniques, we found that glutamate and NMDA receptors indeed play a role in activating neurons linked to migraine pain, especially when magnesium levels are low. However, we didn't observe any changes in the levels of CGRP, a key migraine mediator. These results point to the potential benefit of magnesium supplements for migraine sufferers by improving NMDA channel function.

We explored the effects of alpha-lipoic acid on migraines as part of a broader study examining dietary fatty acid supplementation. This research particularly assessed how various supplements, including omega-3 fatty acids and alpha-lipoic acid, influence migraine clinical outcomes.
In the systematic review, we considered six randomized controlled trials that included 407 participants suffering from chronic migraines. The studies aimed to determine if fatty acid supplementation could provide relief from headache intensity, frequency, duration, and overall quality of life.
While the results indicated significant improvements with omega-3 supplementation, the specific contributions of alpha-lipoic acid were not strongly highlighted. This makes it challenging to definitively state the effectiveness of alpha-lipoic acid alone in treating migraines. Overall, the findings suggest that while fatty acids, particularly omega-3, show promise for migraine relief, we need more focused research to fully evaluate alpha-lipoic acid's potential benefits.

Taurine and migraine neurotransmission study
We measured the levels of specific amino acids, including taurine, glycine, and glutamine, in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 38 migraine patients. To understand more about its potential role in migraines, we compared these levels with those from 10 individuals who do not suffer from headaches.
Our findings revealed that migraine patients had significantly higher levels of taurine, glycine, and glutamine compared to the healthy controls. Particularly, the differences were striking for taurine and glycine, with p-values indicating strong statistical significance.
Interestingly, we noticed that when seven of these patients received treatment with divalproex sodium, their taurine levels dropped notably compared to baseline. However, while we can see strong correlations, we should exercise caution—this study does not definitively isolate the effects of taurine itself in migraine treatment since other factors were at play during the divalproex sodium treatment.
Overall, these results suggest that issues related to neurotransmission may have a role in migraines, and taurine could be a piece of the puzzle. Yet, we must acknowledge that our research does not establish taurine as an effective standalone treatment for migraines.

We examined the link between dietary niacin intake and migraine occurrences by analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. This study focused on adults over 20 years old, looking specifically at their reported experiences with severe headaches and the amount of niacin they consume daily.
Among the 10,246 participants, we found that 20.1% reported having migraines. Those who had a higher intake of niacin showed a lower likelihood of experiencing migraines. For instance, compared to individuals with the lowest niacin intake, those in higher intake categories (Q2, Q3, and Q4) had significantly reduced odds of suffering from migraines. The results indicated that increasing dietary niacin had a favorable effect, suggesting an L-shaped curve relationship where the optimal intake appears to be around 21 mg per day.
This study highlighted a possible connection between niacin consumption and migraine prevention, indicating that moderate levels might play a protective role. However, it’s important to approach these findings cautiously, as they don’t establish cause and effect directly. Further research could illuminate how dietary choices might influence migraine frequency and severity.

We investigated how galcanezumab, a medication designed for migraines, affects brain connectivity in patients. By using advanced imaging, we compared 19 patients who experienced significant relief from their migraines to 17 who did not see improvements.
Patients who responded positively to the treatment showed reduced brain connectivity in specific regions linked to sensory processing after three months. Interestingly, those who didn't respond did not exhibit these changes. This suggests that even a short duration of reduced pain signals can lead to positive changes in how the brain processes these signals.

Vitamin D may affect migraine frequency
We explored the link between vitamin D levels and the frequency and severity of migraines in children. In this study, we reviewed data from 171 pediatric patients diagnosed with migraines between February and December 2022.
Our findings revealed that children experiencing fewer migraines (1-3 attacks per month) had a higher median vitamin D level of 15.6 μg/L compared to those with more frequent attacks (over 3 per month), whose levels dropped to 11.9 μg/L. This suggests that adequate vitamin D levels might be associated with a lower attack frequency.
Additionally, we observed a relationship between vitamin B levels and the duration of migraine attacks. Those with shorter attack durations (2-6 hours) had higher vitamin B levels than those suffering longer attacks (12-24 hours). Furthermore, we noted that patients not receiving prophylactic treatment had higher ferritin levels compared to those who were treated. This indicates that some micronutrient deficiency might be present in patients undergoing preventive therapies.
In conclusion, our research indicates that assessing micronutrient levels, particularly vitamin D, could be beneficial for children suffering from migraines.

With 5-HTP, my mood and sleep have normalised, and I’ve experienced a disappearance of headaches and migraines. I take it with my wife. I switched from two 50mg antidepressant tablets to just one, and it suffices. My wife has eliminated her antidepressants completely! I regret not knowing about this supplement sooner—it’s truly effective! I feel more composed and my mood has vastly improved, aiding my sleep too. Please rate my review if you found it helpful!
Iron
4
We explored the potential link between iron levels in the brain and migraine attacks through a series of MRI scans. By looking at measures of brain iron content and white matter structure in a 26-year-old male migraine patient over 21 days, including both migraine-free days and days of attacks, we aimed to understand how iron might fluctuate during these episodes.
Our findings revealed interesting patterns: we observed that iron content in the brain changes during the migraine cycle. Specifically, there was an increase in white matter iron levels during migraine attacks. Alongside this, we noticed a decrease in the anisotropic properties of the brain tissue, suggesting that there might be additional changes happening in the brain's vascular system during these painful episodes.
While these results provide insights into how iron may play a role in migraine, it is important to note that the study does not confirm any direct benefits of iron treatment on migraines. Our work highlights the complexities of migraine pathology, but the direct impact of iron management remains unclear at this stage.

I began taking it after being diagnosed with anaemia during a health check. With 1-2 tablets of 18mg daily, symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue improved immediately. Remarkably, the migraine headaches I had suffered from diminished, and my use of painkillers reduced. It's surprising that iron intake can lead to such significant improvements in my health.
B12

Vitamin B12 & magnesium aid migraines
This study examined the impact of vitamin B12 and magnesium, combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT), on women's migraine attacks.
We organized participants into four groups over two months, comparing those on supplements, those doing HIIT, and those using both approaches. We measured serum levels of a specific signaling molecule and assessed migraine severity throughout.
The results highlighted that the combination of B12, magnesium, and exercise appears to reduce migraine pain by targeting inflammation pathways.

It works well! I find this vitamin B12 beneficial for my migraines, especially considering its easy-to-take ramune form. Traditional tablet types are difficult for me to swallow. This supplement helps refresh my mind and eases neck stiffness, which contributes to my tinnitus. I particularly recommend it for anyone suffering from light sensitivity associated with migraines.
Melatonin
8
We explored how melatonin can help in preventing migraines through a systematic review of randomized controlled trials. By analyzing seven studies that involved 1,283 participants, we compared the effects of melatonin to standard migraine treatments and placebo groups.
Our findings suggest that melatonin can significantly reduce both the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. However, the effectiveness seemed to depend on the dosage, and there are still questions about the best approach to take.
Beyond migraine relief, we also noted intriguing hints that melatonin might assist with weight control, indicating further avenues for research. As melatonin continues to gain popularity for various uses, including sleep disorders, its potential as a migraine preventative is a significant development worth considering.

Folic Acid
7
We explored how serum folate levels relate to migraines by looking at data from over 13,000 participants in a nationwide health study.
Folic acid showed a negative association with severe headaches, meaning higher levels of folate may lead to fewer migraines.
This connection was particularly strong among women, younger adults, and non-Hispanic White individuals.
However, more research is necessary to confirm these findings and further investigate the influence of folate on migraine prevention.

I take inositol, 4000mg daily, with my husband, and the migraines that tormented me for six years have vanished. I'm amazed by this response to the medication; it has given me a surge of energy. I'm delighted I eventually tried it for my migraines, although it was originally recommended by my gynecologist for pregnancy planning.
Acetyl L Carnitine

We looked into how various metabolic factors relate to migraines in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO). Our study involved 11 PFO patients undergoing surgery and 11 healthy controls.
We found notable differences in certain metabolites like acetylcarnitine and dopamine between the groups. After the surgery, PFO patients experienced significant reductions in headache frequency and severity.
However, while their headaches improved, other migraine symptoms didn't change significantly. Overall, the surgery showed promise in alleviating migraines associated with PFO.

Excellent product; I'm very pleased with my purchase. These capsules are easy to swallow without tasting them. Previously, I used a brand with large, chalky, and odorous pills. While these capsules do have a slight smell, you can take them before noticing it, and they are far less pungent than the last brand. NAC has numerous health benefits (look up NAC and glycine!), but the most significant for me is its apparent elimination of my near migraine-level headaches. Good packaging.

Nattokinase is a long-term health investment that gently thins the blood, protecting against cholesterol plaques and clots. It also alleviates migraines, which I can attest to. We take it as a family, and my elderly parents have seen a noticeable improvement. We’re being proactive with our health to reduce the risk of strokes or heart attacks.

The neurologist prescribed medication for increased intracranial pressure for my adult son. In our pharmacy, tablets for 28 days cost 1400 rubles. I later found an analogue on iHerb, obtaining pills for three months for 500 rubles. I'm delighted! This excellent medication significantly reduces the frequency of my migraine attacks and seems particularly effective for those suffering from increased intracranial pressure.
