Selenium shows promise for migraines
The effect of selenium supplementation on oxidative stress, clinical and physiological symptoms in patients with migraine: a double-blinded randomized clinical trial.
Relevant for migraine management
We explored the effects of selenium supplementation in a double-blinded trial involving 72 patients with migraines. Over 12 weeks, participants received either selenium or a placebo. We observed that those taking selenium experienced reduced headache frequency and severity.
Additionally, selenium improved antioxidant levels and lowered oxidative stress markers. However, it appears that many other factors related to migraine symptoms did not see significant changes. While this research shows promise, further studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

Higher selenium may reduce migraines
Interaction between dietary selenium intake and age on severe headache or migraine in the United States: a population-based study.
Relevant to dietary migraine prevention.
We examined how dietary selenium affects the occurrence of migraines, especially looking at age differences. Analyzing data from nearly 10,000 adults in the NHANES survey, we found that higher selenium intake is linked to fewer migraines.
This beneficial effect seems particularly significant for adults aged 20 to 50, where increasing selenium to about 101.9 µg/day appears to help prevent migraines. However, the relationship is complex and influenced by age, highlighting the importance of adequate selenium-rich foods for this age group.

Sodium selenite shows symptom improvement
Symptomatic treatment of brain tumor patients with sodium selenite, oxygen, and other supportive measures.
Relevant for supportive therapies
We explored how sodium selenite affects symptoms in patients with brain tumors. This study included 32 patients who experienced increased intracranial pressure after previous treatments.
Notably, 76% of participants reported significant improvements in their symptoms, including headaches, while 24% experienced slight improvements.
Treatments also positively impacted blood cell counts and enhanced the effects of oxygen therapy. Overall, sodium selenite could be a promising part of supportive care for brain tumor patients experiencing multiple symptoms.

Headache experience
This product doesn’t suit me; it caused a headache. While it contains beneficial minerals, the packaging did not work well for me.

Headache association
I experienced a headache initially but didn’t connect it to selenium. When it recurred, I realised it was likely due to the increased dosage of 200 mcg I was taking. Since reducing to 100 mcg, I have felt much better.

Headaches ceased
After starting selenium, I noticed some headaches. I am unsure if it was directly related; regardless, I ceased taking selenium and switched to vitamins that contain selenium. Now, I am headache-free.
