We conducted a study to understand how nonprescription therapies, specifically a combination supplement that includes magnesium, affect symptoms associated with vestibular migraine (VM). In this observational study, we evaluated 82 patients who were experiencing VM. Participants were advised to improve their sleep, hydration, exercise, and nutrition while taking an over-the-counter supplement containing magnesium along with other ingredients.
The results showed promising improvements in symptoms. Specifically, measures like symptom severity and frequency reported significant reductions. For instance, the dizziness-related score dropped notably, indicating that many participants experienced relief from their vertigo. About half of the individuals reported an improvement in their condition, while a few noted no change at all.
Although magnesium was included in the supplement, it’s essential to recognize that we can't isolate its effect on vertigo based on this study alone due to the combination of ingredients used. However, the overall findings suggest that nonprescription therapies, including those with magnesium, might help manage VM symptoms effectively.
