Migraines are linked to vitamin deficiency, according to the latest research from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
Migraines cause intense throbbing and pain in the head, and are usually followed with nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light.
According to the new research, a high percentage of children, teens, and young adults that suffer migraines have deficiencies in vitamin D, riboflavin, and coenzyme Q10.
“Further studies are needed to elucidate whether vitamin supplementation is effective in migraine patients in general, and whether patients with mild deficiency are more likely to benefit from supplementation,” says Suzanne Hagler, MD, a Headache Medicine fellow in the division of Neurology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and lead author of the study.
Dr. Hagler and colleagues studied patients at the Cincinnati Children’s Headache Center.
