Condo and colleagues from the Department of Neurological Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy, conducted a retrospective study to examine the role of riboflavin for preventing migraine heaaches in pediatric and adolescent patients (n=41). The findings about beneficial effect of riboflavin were published in the Journal of Headache and Pain.
Methods
Subjects with migraine headaches receieved 200 or 400 mg/day oral dose of riboflavin for 3, 4 or 6 months.
Results
The riboflavin supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in migraine episode frequency and intensity (p<0.05).
Follow up these subjects revealed that 68 percent of the subjects demonstrated a 50% or greater reduction in frequency of attacks. Adverse events included vomiting and increased appetite which the authors felt were unrelated to the riboflavin administration.
It should however be noted that other studies in children have however provided opposing results.
Do you take riboflavin or any other vitamin or supplement to prevent migraines? Please share.
