We conducted a case-control study to investigate the link between vitamin B12 serum levels and migraine, which affects so many people but lacks a fully understood cause. Our research included 90 individuals experiencing migraines—split into those with chronic migraines and those with episodic migraines—matched against 90 healthy participants.
We measured vitamin B12 serum levels using a reliable testing method and explored how these levels correlated with migraine intensity, as assessed by two measuring scales. Notably, we found that migraine sufferers had significantly lower levels of vitamin B12 compared to those without migraines.
Chronic migraine patients specifically had even lower vitamin B12 levels than their episodic counterparts. Additionally, there was a noteworthy negative correlation; as vitamin B12 levels decreased, the severity of migraine attacks increased. These findings suggest that vitamin B12 deficiency may have an important relationship with migraine experiences, emphasizing the need for further studies to explore this connection in detail.

We evaluated whether B vitamins, particularly B1, B6, B12, and B9, could help reduce migraine headaches in women. This rigorous double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved 120 participants who took these vitamins or a placebo for 12 weeks.
The results showed notable improvements for those taking the B vitamins, including fewer headache attacks and reduced need for medication. However, while these findings are promising, further research with larger groups and longer follow-ups is necessary to verify the effects.

Cerebral venous thrombosis and treatment
We explored the case of a 25-year-old man who came to the hospital with severe headaches and dizziness. Following a diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis, linked to his vitamin B12 deficiency from nitrous oxide use, he received treatment that included vitamin B12 supplements.
After a week of therapy, both his headaches and vision issues notably improved, allowing for discharge. This case suggests vitamin B12 could be a helpful part of treating headaches associated with specific deficiencies.

NO-NO! Initially, I felt more energetic with 2 capsules daily, which was convenient compared to my previous vegan B12 lozenge. However, after some time, I experienced severe side effects, including headaches, acne, and numbness, which only disappeared when I stopped taking it. I would not purchase this again and do not recommend it.

We investigated a unique case where a 14-year-old girl experienced prolonged headaches and nausea due to cerebral venous thrombosis linked to a rare genetic mutation. Elevated homocysteine levels were discovered during examinations, leading to anticoagulation therapy.
Notably, after receiving additional vitamins like B12, the patient reported no headaches within a month, alongside a significant decrease in intracranial pressure and thrombosis size. Although the treatment context is specialized, this case emphasizes the importance of understanding genetic factors in headache disorders.

We investigated the prevalence and impact of vitamin B12 deficiency in a diverse group of patients at a tertiary care hospital. With a focus on individuals aged 50 to 65, particularly strict vegetarians, we found that many suffered from significant symptoms, including headache.
Among the 220 cases studied, 95% reported head heaviness or headaches as a psychiatric manifestation, showcasing the importance of recognizing vitamin B12 deficiency. Early detection and treatment can reverse most related disorders, highlighting the need for greater awareness in clinical settings.

We examined the role of vitamins B6, folate, and B12 in managing migraine headaches. Our systematic review uncovered twelve studies focused on their effects. While B6 showed promise in preventing migraines with aura when paired with folate or B12, these vitamins did not significantly alleviate acute migraine attacks. Additionally, the evidence for treating migraines without aura remains limited, particularly in children. Overall, vitamin supplementation appears to offer some benefit in prevention, but more thorough research is needed to solidify these findings.
