Alpha-lipoic acid improves migrainesEvaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Add-on Alpha-Lipoic Acid on Migraine Prophylaxis in an Adolescent Population: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
We assessed the potential benefits of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) as a preventive treatment for adolescent migraines in a clinical trial involving 60 participants.
Those who received ALA alongside flunarizine showed a significant decrease in migraine frequency, with an impressive responder rate of 80% compared to 33.3% in the control group.
Other improvements included reduced severity of migraine attacks and better scores in quality of life assessments.
Overall, adding ALA appears to enhance outcomes for adolescents suffering from migraines.

Riboflavin reduces pediatric migrainesRetrospective Observational Study on Riboflavin Prophylaxis in Child and Adolescent Migraine.
We evaluated the effectiveness of riboflavin in young patients suffering from migraines through a retrospective study involving 42 children and adolescents aged six to 18.
After treatment, we observed a significant decrease in headache frequency, intensity, and duration. Patients reported fewer days missed from school and reduced usage of acute medications.
Our findings suggest riboflavin is a safe, affordable, and effective option for preventing migraines in pediatric patients.

Genetic insights on pediatric migraines[The role of genetic polymorphisms in folate metabolism genes in the manifestation of migraine in children].
We explored how genetic factors related to folate metabolism might be connected to migraines in children. In this study, 54 children aged 7 to 18 with migraines were compared to 115 healthy peers.
Interestingly, the rare 677TT genotype was found more frequently among those with migraines, indicating a potential link to higher homocysteine levels and folate deficiency. Moreover, we noted that treating these children with Cortexin led to significant improvements in their symptoms, including reduced headaches and fatigue.

Vitamin B aids migraine managementReview on Headache Related to Dietary Supplements.
We reviewed the impact of dietary supplements on migraines, especially focusing on Vitamin B. Our findings revealed that nutrients like vitamin B, magnesium, and Coenzyme Q10 play vital roles in energy metabolism and may help alleviate migraine symptoms.
Notably, a daily intake of 400 milligrams of riboflavin over three months resulted in a remarkable 50% reduction in migraine attacks for many users. Additionally, vitamin D and Omega-3 have also shown promise in reducing migraine occurrences, suggesting that these supplements could serve as a cost-effective approach for migraine prevention.
