🎭 Vitamin D Deficiency And Migraines

The present findings show that supplementation with this vitamin in a dose of 1000-4000 IU/d could reduce the frequency of attacks in migraineurs. Conclusion: It seems a high proportion of migraine patients might suffer from vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency. Vitamin D is known to reduce oxidative stress and may therefore help prevent migraines and reduce sensitivity to migraine triggers. Studies have found that people with higher blood vitamin D levels are significantly less likely to experience migraine headaches than those with deficient vitamin D levels. The role of vitamin D deficiency on migraine chronicity has not been clearly identified. The pathogenic mechanism of migraine chronicity presumes to be associated with a neurotransmitter imbalance and upregulation of inflammatory pathways in CNS resulting in central amplification of peripheral pain signals.
