Pediatric migraine treatment with riboflavin
Our examination focused on the effectiveness of riboflavin, a form of Vitamin B2, in treating migraines in children and adolescents aged six to 18. We conducted a retrospective observational study involving 42 patients, where we measured the frequency, intensity, and duration of their headaches.
Remarkably, we found significant reductions in headache days per month, with intensity and duration also decreasing. Most importantly, riboflavin helped decrease the reliance on acute medication and fewer missed school days. We suggest this affordable treatment as a safe option for pediatric migraines.

Vitamin B-complex shows migraine relief
We explored how vitamin B-complex supplementation might help reduce migraines in children by lowering serum homocysteine levels. In a randomized double-blinded trial with 90 kids under 15, one group received vitamin B-complex while the other got a placebo for six months.
After the treatment, we observed that the children taking vitamin B experienced fewer headaches, lower headache severity, and less overall headache-related disability compared to the placebo group.
While the results are promising, indicating a potential benefit of vitamin B-complex, more research is necessary to validate these findings.

We explored the impact of B vitamin supplementation on women suffering from episodic migraines. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 120 participants, we found that those taking B vitamins experienced a significant decrease in headache frequency and migraine-related disability compared to the placebo group.
Over 12 weeks, the vitamin groups also needed fewer abortive medications. While results are promising, further research with larger samples is necessary to confirm these findings and better understand the long-term benefits of B vitamins for migraine sufferers.

This product tastes great to me, but it doesn't dissolve easily. I have experienced headaches when taking it, even at a half dose, leading to a migraine-like feeling that lasts for 8-10 hours. I've noticed that when I avoid this pill, I have no headaches, which cannot be a good sign.

We looked at a rare case involving a 14-year-old girl experiencing persistent headaches and high intracranial pressure. Testing revealed a significant plasma homocysteine level and a mutation related to the MTHFR gene, previously unreported in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) cases.
After administering anticoagulation therapy and B-vitamin supplements, her symptoms improved significantly within a month, with no headaches reported and reduced thrombosis. This case highlights the importance of checking for specific genetic factors when dealing with unusual CVT cases and underscores the potential for successful treatment.

We delved into how Vitamin B2 could aid in preventing migraines, traditionally tackled with medications. This systematic review and meta-analysis involved rigorous searching across several databases, analyzing data from nine studies with over 670 participants.
We discovered that a daily dose of 400 mg of Vitamin B2 for three months notably reduced the number of migraine days, their duration, frequency, and pain intensity. These findings support the potential of Vitamin B2 as an effective supplement for those suffering from migraines.

We explored the effects of vitamin B6 treatment in a unique case involving a 25-year-old man who experienced headaches and memory issues due to a specific genetic condition. This condition caused a build-up of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) like valine and leucine in the bloodstream, leading to neurological symptoms.
The patient had notable brain MRI findings, and metabolic tests revealed significantly high plasma levels of BCAAs. Interestingly, standard tests for a related disorder, maple syrup urine disease, came back normal, helping guide the investigation. Upon discovering mutations in the BCAT2 gene, which heavily influences BCAA metabolism, we were curious about the role of vitamin B6 in this scenario.
After the patient began taking vitamin B6, we observed impressive reductions in his BCAA levels, especially valine, and improvements in the brain MRI lesions. Although the initial focus was on his headaches, it's important to note that the study didn’t isolate the specific effects of vitamin B6 on headaches alone. Instead, the broader context of metabolic improvement is significant.
Ultimately, our findings highlight a new and rare amino acid metabolism disorder linked to genetic mutations. They also suggest that vitamin B6 supplementation may lead to beneficial outcomes in managing BCAA-related conditions, even if direct links to headache relief weren’t the sole focus of this particular case.

We aimed to explore how serum folate levels might be connected to the occurrence of severe headaches and migraines. To do this, we analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, focusing on a large group of 13,351 participants. From this group, 2,742 individuals reported experiencing severe headaches or migraines in the past three months.
Our findings indicated that higher serum folate levels were associated with a lower likelihood of experiencing these types of headaches. Specifically, we calculated an odds ratio of 0.5, showing that as folate levels increased, the chances of suffering from migraines or severe headaches decreased. This pattern was particularly strong among women, people aged 20 to 50, and non-Hispanic White participants.
The results suggest that adequate folate levels could potentially play a role in reducing headache occurrences, though more research is needed to confirm these findings. Overall, our study points to the importance of serum folate not just as a nutritional measure, but also as a factor that might influence headache health.

Vitamin B6 shows potential for migraines
We conducted a study to evaluate how vitamin B6, when combined with folic acid, affects migraine attacks in adults suffering from aura. Our research followed a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design, which involved 95 migraine patients from Isfahan, Iran. These individuals received either folic acid and vitamin B6, folic acid alone, or a placebo for three months.
The results showed that the combination of folic acid and vitamin B6 led to significant improvements in migraine characteristics. We observed a decrease in headache severity, attack frequency, and the overall impact of headaches on daily life. Specifically, the combined treatment exhibited more robust effects compared to the placebo and even outperformed folic acid taken alone, particularly in reducing headache severity and frequency.
However, it's important to note that the positive impact on attack duration was not statistically significant when taking other influencing factors into account. Meanwhile, taking folic acid by itself did not yield any noteworthy benefits compared to the placebo.
Overall, our findings suggest that vitamin B6, especially in conjunction with folic acid, may play a beneficial role in managing migraine attacks for those who experience aura. Still, further research is essential to deepen our understanding of these effects and confirm our results.

We investigated the potential benefits of vitamin B6, folate, and B12 on migraine prevention. Through a thorough literature search, we found twelve relevant studies. While using these vitamins for treating acute migraines didn’t show significant results, they did demonstrate promise in preventing migraines with aura when used individually or in combination. However, folate alone was not more effective than a placebo. Our findings highlight the need for more high-quality research, particularly for migraines without aura in both adults and children, to better understand their efficacy.
